Hi! I have this wiring:
Arduino - GPS
5 V - 5 V
GND - GND
RX (Pin 0) - TX

and a simple program to read the GPS raw data
char dato=' ';

void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println("Start Test");
}


void loop()
{
if(Serial.available())
{
Serial.println(Serial.read());
}else
{
Serial.println("NO READING");
}
}

Nevertheless, I don't get any data from Arduino's RX. I should be receiving NMEA commands but I don't see anything in Arduino's Serial Monitor (which is configured also at 9600 baud).

The question is: How can I know if I damaged my GPS module?
