sHLD-GPM+

  • The sHLD-GPM+ is part of the Designer Systems Global Positioning System range of modules for the Arduino, Raspberry-Pi or other I2C bus platforms. It features a 99 Channel GPS/GLONASS engine with fast Time To First Fix (TTFF), 2.5m accuracy and 3 axis accelerometer all of which is fully accessable over the high speed I2C interface. Full on-board processing of NMEA sentances leaves the host platform to perform other tasks.

  • All our products are designed and manufactured in the UK.

  • Available from the following distributors:

    Lextronic (France) (TBC)
    Farnell inOne

  • Product code : sHLD-GPM+

RoHSRoHSMade in the UK

Description

The Designer Systems sHLD-GPM+ is a highly integrated Global Positioning System allowing your robotic application to determine its location on the earth's surface from both GPS and GLONASS satellites. Specifically targeted at the Arduino user the sHLD-GPM+ features I2C communication to leave the serial [TX/RX] port free for other functions eg. wireless communication. GPS data received by the sHLD-GPM is stored within internal registers which are updated once per second and include: Latitude (i.e. vertical), Longitude (i.e. horizontal), Altitude (metres), Time & date (UTC), Heading (True), Speed (kilometres per hour) and Satellites detected. In addition to the sHLD-GPM+ features an on-board 3D Accelerometer which can be used to determine inclination for rover applications.

Features

  • Arduino UNO Shield standard form factor for simple integration into any Arduino project.
  • I2C interface for simple connection other I2C compatible devices.
  • Gives your robot the ability to know where it is, how fast its moving and in what direction.
  • Fast 99-channel GPS and GLONASS position acquisition with battery backup for fast < 1 second hot start and < 5 second warm start.
  • Simple register based data retrieval of latitude, longitude, heading, altitude, speed, time, date & satellites used.
  • Integral low power antenna.
  • 3D Accelerometer with internal raw g and inclination registers.
