Software Installation - sparkfun ZED-F9P Hook-Up Manual

To update the ZED-F9P's firmware or configure the module, insert the USB-C cable into the USB-C connector
labeled as u-center.
You can have both USB cables connected at the same time since there are protection diodes connected on the
voltage lines.

Software Installation

Note: This example assumes you are using the latest version of the Arduino IDE on your desktop. If this is
your first time using Arduino, please review our tutorial on installing the Arduino IDE. If you have not
previously installed an Arduino library, please check out our installation guide.
The SparkFun u-blox Arduino library enables the reading of all positional datums as well as sending binary UBX
configuration commands over I C. This is helpful for configuring advanced modules like the ZED-F9P but also the
NEO-M8P-2, SAM-M8Q and any other u-blox module that use the u-blox binary protocol.
The SparkFun u-blox Arduino library can be downloaded with the Arduino library manager by searching
'SparkFun u-blox GNSS' or you can grab the zip here from the GitHub repository:
Once you have the library installed checkout the various examples.
Example1: Read NMEA sentences over I C using u-blox module SAM-M8Q, NEO-M8P, etc
Example2: Parse NMEA sentences using MicroNMEA library. This example also demonstrates how to
overwrite the
processNMEA
module to any library, display, radio, etc that you prefer.
