Hello,

I am working with the board P-NUCLEO-LRWAN1 (

https://community.st.com/external-link.jspa?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.st.com%2Fen%2Fevaluation-tools%2Fp-nucleo-lrwan1.html

) for a project. I want to add a GPS receiver to that board for the purpose of that project . Can you tell me which one I should choose ? And how difficult is to get NMEA data ?

Thank you in advance

I'm using the DISCO board, but a shield like this should suffice. On the Nucleo-64 D0/D1 has some conflict with the ST-LINK VCP but you might have other pin choices

NMEA data starts automatically at 9600 8N1, connect it to a few USART input.

I know boards that use a different default baudrate. Just check the manual.

Usually, the baudrate can be switched at runtime, and NMEA sentences can be turned on/off.

Some older GPS were 4800 baud (think 1980's era designs/compatibility), but the data stream typically generated in the last decade overwhelms that.

Both the NEO-6M and NEO-M8N, and similar variants, all support 9600 baud by default, but can be reconfigured

YMMV, but always RTFM
