GPS module for Raspberry Pi Zero

Hi everyone, I’m looking at buying a ZOE-M8Q or SAM-M8Q GPS module, but I would like to check if these modules would work with a Raspberr Pi Zero over the Serial bus, and if there are any existing code/libraries to do so.

Thanks :smiley:

As long as the serial is initialized correctly in the code, you should be fine. Our libraries have mostly been written to handle the GPS communication over I2C, however, I would suggest that you could look into other NMEA parser programs like the following: https://github.com/Knio/pynmea2

Hi, my Sparkfun SAM-M8Q and RedBoard Qwiic arrived in the post today. I have quickly uploaded the Example Sketch from the tutorial page: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … ample-code

I’m definitely getting output, but I don’t see the latitude/longitude results like on the tutorial page. Is there something I need to do here to get nice lat/lon coordinates? Thanks.

Ah, I discovered the MicroNMEA example in the Sparkfun Ublox library. Latitude and Longitude are showing up nicely
