I checked several answers for same question but none of them help.

I also changed the nano board and GPS module but without luck. I ran it outdoor.

This post question had same issue except my date does not display the correct date and time.

My connection:

vcc->5V
rxd->d4  
txd->d3  
gnd->gnd

FullExample program from TinyGPS++, I get following types of entries

I change the antenna. At some time I got this. From the GPGSV sentence I know that there are about 15 16 satellites in view but the FullExample only show 0.

My idea now is to supply external power for the DFRduino Nano

Any idea how I can continue. Should I changed to other type of gps module?

  • "I ran it outdoor" Under a clear sky and for some number of minutes, right?

  • @timemage yes. From this post, it takes 1 or 2 hours to charge EEPROM and the onboard RTC. Without RTC syc time, it cannot get correct date time in my case

  • You just have made some interpretation with with my name. I wasn't asking about time/RTC output at all. Only that you had it where we could be certain that you would get a fix at the end of so many minutes if everything were correct. So many avoid this. With your update it seems whatever software is involved is correct so far as it goes. Check your antenna connections, that nothing (including the Arduino) near is injecting interference, and try powering it from different sources.

  • @timemage With 5V power supply from Nano I got the module damaged (Rx Tx get shorten), do you have any idea?

  • A short has nothing to do with the problem here. Besides that shortening RX and TX doesn't damage anything (unless you connect two TX pins)

Reset to default

The ceramic antenna is the issue. I changed to the external 1.5GHz one. It got fix under 5 seconds
