- XBee form factor
- Built in antenna
- PA6H module, MTK3339 chipset
The GPS Receiver Board is a high-quality GPS module with a built in antenna. It can track up to 22 satellites on 66 channels.
What is included?
- GPS Receiver Board (based on PA6H GPS module) in XBeeTM compatible form factor
- Two 1×10 pin headers that can be soldered to plug the board in an XBee socket
The board has Embedded Artists’ standard 14-pos expansion connector, and communicates with the GPS-module via the UART interface. Several of our boards have the serial expansion connector on-board. More modules are found [here].
