High altitude balloon payload project: I’m now working the next problem. Adding a uBlox MAX M8C gps. The Thing pinout shows Rx and Tx pins (16 and 17), but no identifier as to which of the three hardware serial ports these compose. I assume they are Serial1, but so far have had no success establishing comm to the gps with either TinyGPSPlus or NeoGPS libraries. TinyGPSPlus wants to use SoftwareSerial, but as many experienced coders have commented, it’s stupid if you have a hardware port available. Tried to mod the library to use HardwareSerial.h to no avail.
Would appreciate any help advice or pointer to any example code that might give me a clue how to interface this GPS.

Hello,
Did you ever get the myGNSS sketch to work on your unit. The serial2 on the Mega bd. are for pins 16 and 17. I was able to get it working with the TinyGPS Plus header file. Are you using the M9N GPS board with the tinyGPSPlus header, it so, how is it working?
