    Hi there, hope you are well. Thanks for this great module!

    I’m trying to setup and test out the GPS on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (Running latest Raspberry Pi OS), but not seeing any output from cat dev/serial0 or any of the other gps related commands from the BerryGPS tutorial. There are no NMEA sentences available.

    On the unit itself, there is one green led on just above the left QWIIC connector, but no other lights seem to be happening.

    I would appreciate any guidance on how to troubleshoot this. Thank you!

    How do you have the BerryGPS-IMU connected?  is it sitting on top of the Raspberry PI GPIO?

    Yes, it’s connected via GPIO pins, on top of Pi Zero.

    Can you please show the output of these commands;

    <strong>dmesg | grep tty</strong>

    <strong>stty -a -F /dev/serial0</strong>

    <strong>grep uart /boot/config.txt</strong>

    Hi just following up, any thoughts on how to troubleshoot? Thank you!

    Sorry for the delay.
    Do you have any jumper cables? It would be good to do a loopback test on the serial port, connect TX to RX. Open it with minicom, everything you type should be echoed back. Some more info here;

    Can you also take a photo of the top half of the BerryGPS-IMU and upload it here. In the past, we have had components been knocked off
