With following hackster.io https://www.hackster.io/hackerhouse/make-an-autonomous-follow-me-cooler-7ca8bc (and yes I have attempted to contact the project owners and asked in the comments of the post) I’ve succeeded in creating the circuit. But I need help with the GPS output. when I send it “a text” through the blynk app it shows up on the serial monitor as- Received Text: 746, 5 Waypoint found: 746.005.00 Reading onboard GPS:

But the onboard GPS never sets anything. the GPS light is blinking [which means its got a fix] If I plug the GPS TX pin into pin 1 and set the #define GPS_TX_PIN to 1 it gives me the raw GPS data over the serial monitor which is correct if I enter it into google maps. and on u-center, it says its connected to about 7 GPS’s. But I can’t figure out why the GPS won’t feed this information through. Any help is appreciated Thanks

Mostly GPS modules (especially NEO-6M) requires open space, to get connection with satellite. Near your open window should work (for checking stats and GPS info), but testing should be done in open air

I am also facing the same issue and tried in open air too but it did not work
