BG5VCU-VK2VCU-AK6CU While browsing online, I came across a video about using third-party modules to provide GPS functionality for FTX-1. TL;DR: 2.5mm audio connector, with module connections from tip to center pin: VCC, TX, GND, RX, baud rate of 9600.
BG6UFA Is the voltage 3.3V or 5V? However, based on my experience using the 5D, the original GPS module from Eight-Child has very unreliable positioning capabilities. The domestic GPS module has a much faster positioning speed.
BH2VZC Based on the recommendations from BI4KSR and the experience of modifying GPS in MDUV380, if you are looking to purchase an external GPS module, prioritize those that include the following keywords: Active GPS antenna Hot/Warm Start (Module does not lose star chart during shutdown, and can quickly re-acquire stars within a few hours after power-on) Multi-mode (GNSS)>GPS + BeiDou>GPS)

Sunset I tested it using the m9140 module I had on hand. I found that the original power supply was not sufficient. Once I connected a separate power source to the pouch, it worked fine.
BG5VCU-VK2VCU-AK6CU Sunset Okay, let's try another one. Carrying a catheter bag – how ungraceful! Haha.
BI7KGD I bought this module, which is directly 2.5mm, so I asked the seller to swap the 3 and 4 pins for it to work immediately. The default baud rate is 38400, with a star output every 2 seconds. After taking it apart, I found that it also has a battery for temperature startup, which is very satisfactory.
