#include <HardwareSerial.h>
HardwareSerial gpsSerial(1); // Use UART1 for GPS communication
void setup() {
// Initialize Serial Monitor
Serial.begin(115200);
while (!Serial) {
; // Wait for Serial to be ready
}
Serial.println("Serial Monitor started");
// Initialize GPS Serial
gpsSerial.begin(9600, SERIAL_8N1, 16, 17); // RX=16, TX=17
Serial.println("GPS Serial started");
}
void loop() {
// Check if data is available from GPS module
if (gpsSerial.available()) {
// Read data from GPS module
while (gpsSerial.available()) {

Serial.print(c); // Print GPS data to Serial Monitor
}
}
}
This code initializes the serial communication for both the Serial Monitor and the GPS module. It continuously reads data from the GPS module and prints it to the Serial Monitor.
