GPS NEO 6M with ESP32C3 *HELP URGENT*

Why i cant run simple coding of gps neo 6m sensor with esp32c3 xiao? help me

I think the problem is with the hardware serial…
different hardware uses serial differently

FYI

This is from my archive, havent tested in a while, some custom edits but may give you some ideas if you review the code

#include <TinyGPSPlus.h>
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
/*
   This sample code demonstrates just about every built-in operation of TinyGPSPlus (TinyGPSPlus).
   It requires the use of SoftwareSerial, and assumes that you have a
   9600-baud serial GPS device hooked up on pins 7(rx) and 6(tx).

Hi there,
Not sure if it will help you , but I have a demo with the Xiao nrf52 here working , may help

HTH
GL :slight_smile: PJ

but it say i cant use software serial? is there library need to installed?

Make sure you have the XIAO ESP32C3 selected as Board at compile time

Also there is a difference between TineyGPS++ and Tiny GPSPlus

Also i see a TinyGPSPlus-ESP32 which may be optomized for esp32

You can see this tutorial and cross-check with your method: View location data sent by NEO-M6 GPS using ESP32 board
