GPS uBlox NEO-6M CN-06 v2 hard reset?

Post by stuckinthemud »

I've got a CN-06 GPS that isn't responding to external commands or outputting anything intelligible.

Anyone know how to force a hard reset of the unit, returning it to factory settings?

I've several units, so I know it's the GPS at fault, not the interface etc.

The v2 module has a built-in EEPROM chip to permanently store your configuration, which will make it a bit difficult to reset to default/factory settings. For v1 draining the battery out would reset the module to default. Have you tried the u-center software and to connect to the module using different baudrates starting from 9600 using a usb to serial adapter? If you are successful to connect, you can reconfigure the module.

The u-center software won't communicate with it at any baud rate :-(

Data is definitely being sent - RX LED on my serial interface shows plenty of activity.

Is your GPS green light flickering?

Is this what´s happening to you?
