How to wire up GPS?

[RandallEdick]

My Xilo F4 board expects SCL SDA inputs, as well as RX, TX,, 5V, GND, but my GPS module (MATEKSYS) doesn't have those, just 5V,GND,RX,TX,3V3. What is the 3V3 (3.3 V?). Is this just incompatible?

Nevermind, I found one that is compatible

The one you had is compatible... it just doesn't have a compass. You can use the GPS by just wiring up the 5v, rx, tx, and grnd.

Oh... Yes. 3V3 is 3.3v.

Oh, Ok, Thanks. I'll go with the compass one. Will I be able to get a vector home, or a location of home relative to current in the OSD? You don't need a compass for that right?

I believe that the compass is only needed to show you what direction the quad is facing. Location relative to home point doesn't require a compass.
