Tessel has two module ports, labeled A and B.

In the examples below, port "A" is always specified. But as long as you change the port in the code, you can plug your module into any of the ports.

It's best to unplug Tessel from power while plugging in modules.

### Step 1

**Note:** The GPS module only works on **port C** at the moment. Port C is the most isolated from RF noise from the MCU, and having Tessel doing a lot of processing will make getting a lock harder. The time between seeing satellites and actually getting a lock is dependent on the satellite. Be in view of the open sky for best results (and even then it may take a while to get a lock). Once the module has a lock, the lock should stay for a while.
