TinkerForge 276 GPS module Suitable for (single board PCs) TinkerForge 1 pc(s)
With the GPS Bricklet 2.0, bricks can determine their position via GPS. It is also possible to obtain motion data (direction and speed), altitude information (height and geodial separation), as well as highly accurate time and date information with PPS signal.Current values for elevation, azimuth and SNR can be read for each GPS and GLONASS satellite.The used GPS module is optimized for a very short time until the first fix, has a high sensitivity (-165dBm) and provides with 10Hz update frequency fast enough data for drones or similar. An internal interference suppression improves the reception when Bluetooth or WLAN devices are nearby.A 25mmx25mm large active patch antenna with high amplification is permanently attached to the bottom and connected to the GPS module via a U.FL plug. The plug connection can be loosened to connect another external antenna.A CR1025 coin-cell battery is supplied with the Bricklet. The battery is used to store position information when the power supply fails. With the stored information, a fix can be restored more quickly when the power supply is available again.The GPS Bricklet 2.0 has a 7-pin Bricklet connector and is connected to a brick with a 7p-10p Bricklet cable.This text is machine translated.
