I have some issues with these 2 items. I connect the GPS Breakout - NEO-M9N to the my OpenLogger board. And I do get the following log data:

rtcDate,rtcTime,aX,aY,aZ,gX,gY,gZ,mX,mY,mZ,imu\_degC,gps\_Date,gps\_Time,gps\_Lat,gps\_Long,gps\_Alt,gps\_SIV,gps\_FixType,gps\_GroundSpeed,gps\_Heading,gps\_pDOP,output\_Hz,

09/16/2021,20:12:43.42,-447.27,-149.41,-885.25,0.81,0.02,-0.29,41.25,-25.35,-34.80,28.70,08/02/2020,00:00:01.100,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,9999,3.591,

09/16/2021,20:12:43.52,-463.87,-148.93,-881.35,0.98,-2.05,1.14,42.60,-25.50,-36.45,28.56,08/02/2020,00:00:01.200,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,9999,4.566,

It looks to me that I do not get any GPS data. Is that the GPS Breakout - NEO-M9N cannot send the data to the OpenLog Artemis? Or do I need to change settings?

I did got the OpenLog Artemis, so I can log GPS and other sensory data for later research. And it seem to be convenient to this with QWIIC system. I need to use it in a mobile application for cars and motorcycles.

Any ideas? Thanks.

The GPS data is there, it’s just all zeros.

What are you using for an antenna and where is the antenna located?

I have the chip antenna SparkFun GPS Breakout - NEO-M9N, Chip Antenna.

I thought, this board does not require an external antenna? Or?

If you have [[GPS-15733](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15733), you won’t need an external antenna. If you have [[GPS-15712](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15712), you DO need an external antenna.

Try taking your setup outside in an area with a clear view of the sky and let it sit with the GPS board face up pointing toward the sky and log for 15 to 20 minutes. It may take a bit for you to get a satellite fix. Eventually you should start seeing those zeros replaced with location data.]([SparkFun GPS Breakout - NEO-M9N, U.FL (Qwiic) - GPS-15712 - SparkFun Electronics](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15712))]([SparkFun GPS Breakout - NEO-M9N, Chip Antenna (Qwiic) - GPS-15733 - SparkFun Electronics](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15733))
