  • mhhh the 5v is D7, and the pins marked Vcc are 3.3v right?
  • I don't know... no GPS lock.. no GPS lock led blinking... no magic smoke.. and I don't have an oscilloscope or a voltometer to test the RX pin
  • 1. For Vcc you did use 3.3 V, not 5V, right? Or your 408 just might be dead from letting the magic smoke out.
    2. Can you confirm that the 408's rx pin is held high when not communicating?
