NEO-6M GPS module with Arduino
NEO-6M GPS module pinout
The pinout of the ublox NEO-6M GPS module is very simple. There is 4 pin available. The module communicates with the microcontroller using the UART communication system. It also supports USB and Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
- VCC - 5volt
- GND - Ground
- TX - Transmit
- RX - Receive
The NEO-6M GPS module supports a baud rate from 4800bps to 230400bps with a default baud of 9600.

Connecting ublox NEO-6M GPS module with Arduino
As we already know the pinout of the NEO-6M GPS module, we can now establish the wiring between the NEO-6M GPS module and Arduino. We can start the connection by connecting the antenna which comes with the module. The operating voltage of the NEO-6M is from 2.7 to 3.6Volt. But there is a voltage regulator integrated with the NEO-6M. SO we can supply 5volt from Arduino 5Volt pin directly. The GND pin goes to the Arduino GND pin.
Now connect TX and RX pin to Arduino digital pin 3 and 4 following as the code.
