GPS TEL0094 about tinygpsplus

We all started somewhere...However... these githubs are library issues, not really for hardware or script debugging.
Check your GPS unit manual, and you will most likely find that the GPS is 9600 baud and not 4800 baud. If which case,
change ss.begin(4800);
to ss.begin(9600);

A quick google on MY part shows the following for this module.

9600bps (default) (4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800, 921600) TTL interface
5V at 30mA (support 3.3V to 5V)
56-channel receiver
Extremely high sensitivity -161dBm

Notice the default 9600bps(default) line.

Hope this helps. Google is your friend.

@PoloLastik, I note that you have declared pin 6 as your RX pin in the SoftwareSerial ss declaration, but then written that you connected pin 6 to the GPS RX pin. Remember that RX from the microcontroller's viewpoint is TX from the GPS module's. The easiest fix at this point would be to change your software a bit:

SoftwareSerial ss(5, 6);

And yes, @TD-er is right: most modules these days are 9600 baud.

This time it wasn't me who replied :)

Ha, whoops, indeed. Credit where credit is due: sorry, @svdrummer :)

One more note: it's undeniably confusing, but this is the repo for the (imo) slightly more sophisticated TinyGPS++ library, whereas @PoloLastik's sample code is using the old TinyGPS. (I'm not suggesting you change, @PoloLastik, just observing the difference for later readers.)
