How to simulate the NEO-6M GPS in LabWired

Open the Playground at app.labwired.com and place an MCU board.
Add the NEO-6M GPS (catalog type neo6m-gps).
Connect VCC and GND to the supply and ground of the board.
Cross the UART lines: connect TX to the RX pin of the board, and RX to the TX pin of the board.
Run the firmware. It sends and receives bytes on the simulated UART as on hardware.
