Get NMEA information

Hi!

We want to use the NEO-M8U GPS to synchronize with another device, for this purpose we need to get two signal from the device: the PPT signal, which has a dedicated pin, and a NMEA UART message, that we get through the USB connection to our computer.

The problem is that we would also need to share this NMEA information with our device in order to have them both synchronized, is there any possibility, maybe soldering some bridge or something like that, to get this information with a cable and so be able to share it also with our device?

Thank you in advance!

Looks like there’s a TTL serial output on the board as well as the USB interface, you should be able to pick up NMEA data from that too.

Thanks for the help!

You mean those two dedicated pins SPI MIO/MOSI for the TTL signal?

Because i would prefer not to solder something extra on the pins from the NEO-M8U micro processor…

Yep, the RX/MOSI, TX/MISO and GND pins are what you want, Not sure what the default baud rate is but it’s probably 115200 and if you needed too, you could change it in u-center. :slight_smile:
