Setting up our hardware

The first thing we should do is get all of our hardware set up so that we can start testing it and creating our program. We will begin by connecting our GPS module to our Pi Zero. Our GPS module is just too big to fit inside of our Pi Zero case lid, so we will be making use of the case lid which has the circular hole for the camera and attaching our GPS module to the lid of the case. With this in mind, cut a long enough length of red, black, yellow, and blue cable to wire your Pi Zero and GPS module together; about 10 cm should do the job.

Strip and tin each end of your four cables so that they are ready to connect to our boards. If you solder your cables to your GPS module first, you can feed them through from the back of the module, and then feed them through the front of the case lid.
