De defect looks internal but I check with a tester. Please give a solution because my aplication need and external antenna otherwise is useless. Please dont ask for video o photo because it doesn't show externaly. Thanks
The GPS module uses the UBLOX NEO6M chip. The data sheet can be found here: https://www.u-blox.com/sites/default/files/products/documents/NEO-6_DataSheet_(GPS.G6-HW-09005).pdf I bought this module since it has an on-board antenna. I connected the module to an Arduino Uno and installed the tinygpsplus library. The library can be found here: http://arduiniana.org/libraries/tinygpsplus/ Connected TX to D4 and RX to D3. The only thing I had to do to make examples work was to change baud rate from 4800 to 9600. Works well.
