Ultimate GPS Logger Shield with SD card reader - Shield for Arduino - Adafruit 1272

Description: Adafruit Ultimate GPS Logger Shield with SD card reader - Shield for Arduino

Shield for Arduino with GPS module and slot formicro SD memory card. It can be used as a data logger or GPS locator. It has a place to create your own prototype systems, embedded antenna and connector u.FL to connect externalversion. It works withArduino Uno,Leonardo.

 

 

The pins are the holes for the connectors, adapted for boards of Arduino Uno,Leonardoand derivatives. The kit includes the appropriate strips for self-soldering and battery to support the system's operation in case of absence of power supply. In order to attach another Arduino Shields, you should apply available in our store, extended connectors.The micro SD cardcan be purchased separately.

 

The kit includes: board, connectors for self-soldering and battery to support RTC.

 

The product is compatible with Arduino

The manufacturer providesthe Arduino libraryalong withthe user manual.

 

Main features of the module:

• Communications:
  • GPS - serial UART interface (RX and TX pins)
  • Memory card - SPI bus 
• Sensitivity: -165 dBm
• Update: 10 Hz
• Low current consumption: about 20mA
• Built-in Flash memory to save data
• Two LEDs: for indicating power supply voltage and the status of the fix
• The output of the PPS signal
• It has a built-in antenna and a connector to lead out the  external u.FL version
• Built-in RTC provides a record of the current time
• Available, free library facilitate maintenance of the shield
• It has a place to create your own prototype systems
• It supports micro SD cards
• It works with:Arduino Uno R3,Arduino Leonardo, and Duemilanove, Diecimila (Shield is not compatible with the version Mega, ADK and Due).

 

Additional pins

 

Pin Description 3V The output of regulator 3 V with current up to 100 mA. CD The status of micro SD card. If there is no card in the slot, there is low GND state, otherwise, there is a high status. CCS Pin of Chip Select device for reading memory cards, by default, connected to pin 10 of Arduino, to change it, it is necessary to stop the path of the PCB. PPS The output of a signal pulse-per-second of GPS module. TX, RX Additional copies of the connectors of the serial interface GPS. TX tolerates a voltage of 5 V.
