Hi
I bought a NEO-7M GPS module from Amazon and this antenna: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07R7 ... asin_title. I have run the code from here: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/raspbe ... cropython/ to get an out out from it. This works until I connect the antenna. Then the PPS light goes off on the GPS module and the serial out put from the MicroPython code stops outputting until I disconnect the antenna. I have tried using an adapter to connect to the IPEX connector in the GPS module as well as directly to the SMA connector and get the same results of no output and the LED turning off. Have I got the wrong antenna? Is there another reason why the GPS module would stop working with an antenna connected? Any help greatly appreciated, thank you.
