I dont have have one of the boards the documentation said.. however i have a ftdi which i am connecting to CN9 arduino ports i have it connected to D2 of the GNSS to my RX pin of the ftdi and D8 of the GNSS to the TX of my FTDI device.

I dont see any data been transmitted once i power it up.. am doing it wrong?

    Hi

    Sorry I'm not understanding which board are you using?

    Is it the X-Nucleo-GNSS1A1?

    BTW in any case to get the module working you have to guaratee:

    • VCC (pin-8) VCC_IO (pin-7) VBat (pin-6) @ 3.3V
    • nReset (pin-9) has to he forced @ 3.3 (to guarantee the module is out of reset)

    which these condition the module is up-and-running and it will transming NMEA message on the UART (pins tx-2_rx-3 @9600)

    Regards
