Arduino Example

Example 1: Positional Accuracy

The first example in the SparkFun u-blox GNSS Arduino Library provides a quick test for position and accuracy. Navigate to the example by going to File > Examples > SparkFun u-blox GNSS v3 > ZED-F9P > Example1_GetPositionAccuracy.

Select your Board (in this case the SparkFun ESP32 MicroMod) and associated COM port. Upload the code and open the Arduino Serial Monitor with the baud set to 115200. Make sure the antenna has a clear view of the sky and give the ZED-F9P some time to get a satellite lock. Once the module gets a satellite lock the coordinates and accuracy should start to print out in the serial monitor window.

Now that you got it up and running, check out the other examples located in the ZED-F9P folder!

In order to get the most out of the ZED-F9P, you will need an RTCM correction source. Depending on your choice of Processor or other items in your setup, you may need a second ZED-F9P for a correction source. The following project tutorials guide you through setting up the ZED-F9P as a reference station or rover.
