Arduino, TinyGPSPlus and Neo 7m GPS module


Just powering this with 5V and it's TX pin to the Uno's digital TX in pin 1, then uploading a default "new" sketch to the Uno is enough to see serial GPS data in the Serial Monitor (magnify icon top right)


NB:-  the TX pin flashing on the Uno means it is transmitting the data FROM the GPS module TO the PC.

This seems to present a problem in Linux of MS raw encoding, as later examples give garbled text...:
20:35:47.392 -> K<⸮⸮L%⸮⸮⸮⸮.⸮⸮ W⸮
20:35:57.013 -> ⸮Y⸮⸮⸮d⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮, ⸮
Yet again, Linux is fucked by bigCorp - you may as well get this going on Windows:

Get the winX drivers for Arduino from arduino.cc then connect to your module from within that App - which does NOT run in Wine...(really?)
