I bought a GPS module with GPS antenna SIM39EA online.

The manual for the GPS module is here:

http://www.vis-plus.ee/pdf/SIM39EA_Hardware_Design_V1.00.pdf

I have an Arduino board. It has 3 ground pin, one Vcc and two input/output pin.

I want to know how can I connect this module to Arduino GPS module and get GPS coordinates?

  • Please post a link to the board datasheet, or at least some information about it. Which Arduino do you have?

Your data comes back via the GPS's UART port.
Use the softserial library to create a second serial port on your Arduino (means you can still use the normal serial to read the console).

Then write a program that sucks data from the GPS and squirts it out of the Arduino serial port back to your PC using printf.

I only had a quick flick through and didn't see the default serial speed, so start with 9600 and experiment.

What should come out is probably a line of comma separated values which is in NEMA format. Google for the specification and you will be able to find out the bits of interest.

Hope that helps.
