The MakerFocus GT-U7 operates at 3.6V-5V and is fully compatible with the ESP32-C5's 3.3V power output. You can safely connect GT-U7's VCC directly to the ESP32's 3V3 pin (J1 Pin 1). The GT-U7's logic levels are also 3.3V/5V tolerant, making it a perfect match.

<strong>⚠️ Antenna Connection:</strong><br>
|
||||||
|
The GT-U7 GPS module has an <strong>IPEX connector</strong>, while your active antenna has an <strong>SMA connector</strong>. You'll need an <strong>IPEX to SMA adapter cable</strong> (also called U.FL to SMA). These are inexpensive (~$5-10) and usually included with external GPS antennas. The adapter allows you to connect the SMA antenna to the GT-U7's IPEX port.
