Hardware setup
The module comes with a Pixhawk-standard 6pin connector that will plug into the GPS2 port on recent Pixhawk flight controllers. It should be mounted front facing, as far away from the flight controller and other electronics as possible.
For more information see Mounting the GNSS/Compass and Hardware Setup.
PX4 Configuration
The module should be plug-n-play when used with the GPS2 port on most flight controllers.
Secondary GPS Configuration (UART) explains how you can configure the port if the GPS is not detected (note, that the configuration is the same, even if you are using GPS 2 as the primary compass).
