Schematics

The setup without the GPS module

You just put everything together as you can see on the image. Insulating the headers of the Raspberry Pi is useful but not required.

Wiring the GPS module

If your GPS module doesn't have az onboard voltage regulator then you have to use the 3.3V pin of the Raspberry Pi

Connecting the GPS module

Red: VCC - 5V
Black: GND
Green: TX of the GPS module

Code

Lost and Found script
