Accessing your location via the GPS module

In this section, we will develop the ESP32 program to access the GPS module. For demo purposes, we use a GPS module with a UART interface. I have used the u-blox NEO-6M module. I obtained this module from DX at https://www.dx.com/p/gps-module-w-ceramic-passive-antenna-for-raspberry-pi-arduino-red-2052944.

Our demo scenario is to read UART data from the u-blox NEO-6M module; and then print it on a serial Terminal of the ESP32 board.

So, let's start!

Hardware wiring

Our ESP32 board is connected to the ESP32 board through the UART interface. The UART interface has an Rx receiver and a Tx transmitter. Technically, we can map some ESP32 GPIOs to become UART pins. In this demo, we...
