There are 5 examples for this GPS module, the first one compiles and works fine but the other 4 will not compile. The error log is attached. I’ve downloaded and installed both of the libraries required for this module.
I’m a beginner to Arduino and the code in the examples is way over my head.
Hi Brandon. After fooling around with it the whole day yesterday, this morning it started working. Perhaps I did put both old and new libraries in there. Now I have the “TinyGPSPlus-master, version=1.0.2 author=Mikal Hart” and “SparkFun_GPS_Breakout_XA1110_Qwiic-master”.
Do you have any other antennas you can try for troubleshooting? Say something like: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14986 ? This can help narrow down if it is the antenna or the receiver.
Could you provide a photo of the antenna being connected to the GPS module? I assume you are attaching everything with a U.fl antenna cable but just want to confirm.
Have you given the U.fl connector on the GPS module board a good visual inspection? Does anything look off to you?
Have you tested the qwiic cable for continuity? I wonder if the i2c lines are not making good connections.
I would find it odd that several antennas and cables would be defective and would certainly think that the module might be the issue here, though, it is hard to say at this point.

I don’t know why, but the photos fail to upload. They actually show 100% uploaded but then show the yellow triangle symbol, they’re jpg of 200K

It seems fine, does that satisfying ‘click’ and the cable freely swivels 360 deg around

I don’t know what that means, sorry. The module functions as long as the antenna isn’t connected

I’ll ask around the lab, maybe there’s another compatible antenna laying around

In any case, works now and thanks.
Hello,
I am interested in how you got your GPS working. Did you install the TinyGPSPlus header file and the Sparkfun GPS header file together and they worked…great. Will you share how you made it work!
