• Standard Arduino sized shield
• Provides footprints for EM-408 and EB-85A connector
• GPS modules are not included
• RoHS Compliant
With this SFE GPS Shield for Arduino you can add GPS functionality to the Arduino. A connector for the popular EM-406 GPS receiver is populated on the board, and footprints for EM-408 and EB-85A connectors are also made available. The connectors are not included. The regular GPS pins such as RX, TX, PPS, etc. are also broken out to a 10-pin 0.1" pitch header. A small prototyping area is also provided.
The DLINE/UART switch switches the GPS module's input/output between Arduino's standard TX/RX pins and digital pins 2 and 3. An ON/OFF switch is included which controls power to the GPS module. Finally, the Arduino reset switch is also brought out. The shield also includes the footprint for a 12mm coin cell battery holder to provide battery backup to the optional EB-85A GPS module.
Features:
• EM-406 connector populated and connected to Arduino UART pins (D0/D1)
• EM-408 and EB-85A connector footprints provided and connected for optional use
• Coin cell battery socket footprint provided and connected for optional battery backup of EB-85A GPS module
• Standard Arduino sized shield
• Prototyping area
• GPS serial and PPS signals broken out to a 0.1" header
• Arduino reset button
• ON/OFF switch controls power to GPS module
Note: GPS modules are not included with the GPS Shield, and only the EM-406 connector is populated. Headers are also not installed, 6 and 8-pin stackable headers are recommended.
