Usage of serial interface between Raspberry PI 4 and SparkFun GPS NEO-M9N

Hello,

I try to interface this GPS board with my Raspi4 with serial converter.

First, 115200 bd doesn’t work, but 38400 bd is good.

I want to know where to find the data protocol specification, mainly to change the period of emission of the scan/transmission of data.

It seems to be 1 second by default.

Which is the frame to send ?

Best regards.

Not sure if ublox has a manual of commands, but if they don’t you could use their [u-center software to send configuration commands and see what the software is outputting then copy that on your Pi.

Another thing you could do is configure the GPS with u-center then save that to the module so that your new configuration is always used.](u-center)

Thank you.

  • I have installed a CP210x_Universal_Windows Driver, and then u-center_v21.05.

I succeed to receive frame, and to change frequency by command.

I will verify later if new period is valid after disconnection.

If found in doc “NMEA Reference Manual-Rev2.1-Dec07.pdf” the following frame, but it seems not possible to set less than one second. Perhaps it is only possible by proprietary commands of u-blox.

Best regards.
