Description
Adafruit Ultimate GPS Breakout – 66 channel w/10 Hz updates – PA1616S
This GPS module is one of the best made so far. It comes with an array of features, includings:
- • -165 dBm sensitivity, 10 Hz updates, 66 channels
- • 5V friendly design and only 20mA current draw
- • Breadboard friendly + two mounting holes
- • RTC battery-compatible
- • Built-in datalogging
- • PPS output on fix
- • Internal patch antenna + u.FL connector for external active antenna
- • Fix status LED
- • External antenna support and Pulse-Per-Second output
Best of all, we added all the extra goodies you could ever want: a ultra-low dropout 3.3V regulator so you can power it with 3.3-5VDC in, 5V level safe inputs, ENABLE pin so you can turn off the module using any microcontroller pin or switch, a footprint for optional CR1220 coin cell to keep the RTC running and allow warm starts and a tiny bright red LED. The LED blinks at about 1Hz while it’s searching for satellites and blinks once every 15 seconds when a fix is found to conserve power. If you want to have an LED on all the time, we also provide the FIX signal out on a pin so you can put an external LED on.
If you are using a feather board for your GPS projects, you can find the Adafruit Ultimate GPS FeatherWing here
