gnss-gps-integration

gnss-gps-integration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from easyzoom/aix-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,484 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for connecting GNSS/GPS modules to an MCU over UART and turning their raw messages into a trustworthy location and time fix. GNSS is satellite positioning; common messages include NMEA text and the UBX binary protocol.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with u-blox or Quectel modules to parse NMEA or UBX data, validate fixes, configure message output, troubleshoot satellites and TTFF, and check PPS signals.
Why use it?
No fix, long startup time, invalid coordinates, bad checksums, and missing PPS timing can come from damaged serial data, poor antenna conditions, or incorrect module configuration. The guide helps distinguish these causes.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gnss-gps-integration scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

GNSS GPS Integration

Overview

Use this skill to connect a GNSS/GPS module to an MCU over UART and turn raw output into a trusted fix. The hard parts are proving the byte stream is intact (NMEA XOR checksum, UBX sync), rejecting invalid fixes, and getting acceptable TTFF given antenna, sky view, and backup-power constraints.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

  • The user integrates u-blox NEO-M8N, NEO-M9N, MAX-M10, or Quectel L76/L80/LC76 over UART.
  • The work involves parsing $GxGGA, $GxRMC, $GxGSA, $GxGSV, the *hh XOR checksum, or the UBX binary protocol (0xB5 0x62, UBX-NAV-PVT).
  • Symptoms include no satellites, TTFF too long, RMC status V, lat/lon of 0, truncated NMEA frames, or PPS not toggling.
  • Configuration uses the legacy UBX-CFG-PRT/UBX-CFG-MSG messages (M8-era), the config-key interface UBX-CFG-VALSET/UBX-CFG-VALGET (M9/M10), or PMTK sentences (PMTK251, PMTK220, PMTK314).

Do not use this skill when the UART link itself is unproven; confirm bytes arrive at the correct baud first.

First Questions

Ask for:

  • Exact module and vendor (u-blox M8/M9/M10 vs Quectel Lxx), since protocol and config differ.
  • UART baud (u-blox default 9600, Quectel L76 default 9600), wiring (TX/RX crossed, CMOS 3V3 levels).
  • Active vs passive antenna, its supply/bias-T, and current sky visibility (indoors vs open sky).
  • Backup power: is V_BCKP/RTC battery or supercap fitted, or does the module lose power fully each cycle?
  • Whether the design needs continuous or low-power periodic fixes, and if PPS time sync is required.
  • Current raw output (paste a few NMEA lines) and the observed failure.

Integration Checklist

  1. Prove the raw stream. Log UART bytes at the module's default baud before parsing; confirm $G... ASCII lines or UBX 0xB5 0x62 frames, not garbage from a baud mismatch.

  2. Validate every sentence. Compute the XOR of all chars between $ and *, compare to the two hex digits after *, and drop the line on mismatch or missing CR/LF instead of parsing junk.

gnss-gps-integration is a skill published in the GitHub repository easyzoom/aix-skills (31 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,484 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
