-All commands the same as the uBLOX5 documented by Jcoxon in the [[guides:falcom_fsa03|Falcom FSA03]] guide.The following code has been updated to reflect the changes to Software Serial in Arduino. The uBLOX modules do seem particularly sensitive to timing issues on Software Serial therefore its recommended you use the hardware UARTS on the Arduino for the GPS.
