!!! warning "Software Limitations"

With this software, users will only be able to view the data from the NMEA messages and connect to an NTRIP caster. Users will not be able to configure the LG290P module with the built-in console.

As an alternative to QGNSS, for users with computers that run on MacOS or Linux, we recommend [PyGPSClient](https://github.com/semuconsulting/PyGPSClient) as an option for viewing the data from the NMEA messages and connecting to an NTRIP caster. However, users should be aware that this GUI interface is currently limited to only receiving UART messages and cannot send messages to configure the LG290P module.

#### Connecting to the LG290P
215-
Before users can connect to the Quad-band GNSS RTK breakout board, they will need to specify the settings of the UART port in PyGPSClient. Once configured, users can select the <kbd>:material-usb:</kbd> button and PyGPSClient will automatically attempt to connect to the GNSS module.

Once configured, users can select the <kbd>:material-usb:</kbd> button and PyGPSClient will automatically attempt to connect to the GNSS module. If the UART port does not appear in the Serial Port list in the PyGPSClient UI, it can be added as a user-defined port e.g. `/dev/ttyAMA0`.
