Skylab SKM53 How To Connect

How to connect

1)Connect RXD GPS Pin to Arduino Pin 3

2)Connect TXD GPS Pin to Arduino Pin 2

3)Connect GND GPS Pin to Arduino Ground

4)Connect VCC GPS to 5 VDC

5)Make sure to download TinyGPS.h library file to your

Arduino/Libraries folder. You can download it from this

link:

http://arduiniana.org/TinyGPS/TinyGPS10.zip.

6)Make sure to download NewSoftSerial.h library file to

your Arduino/Libraries folder. You can download it from

this link:

http://arduiniana.org/libraries/newsoftserial/

7)Upload the Arduino code below.
