SparkFun Mini GPS Shield [GPS-14030] - (AD21587)

Description:

The SparkFun Mini GPS Shield provides your Arduino Mini with access to a GPS module, a µSD memory card socket, and all the peripherals needed to turn your Arduino into an exceptional position, speed, and altitude data logger. The shield is based on the GP-735 GPS module, a 56-channel GPS receiver with a 7th-generation uBlox chipset and a refresh rate of up to 10 Hz. The board also uses a level shifter, so you won't have to worry about the logic voltage of your Arduino Mini.

The Mini GPS Shield is a miniature version of our GPS Logger Shield. While the GPS Logger Shield was designed to work with the Arduino RedBoard, the Mini GPS Shield was designed to work with Arduino Mini/Micro boards.

The shield includes a 6-pin JST connector for connecting the GP-735 module. If you already have a GPS module, the JST pins are broken out and labeled so you can use virtually any GPS module that operates up to 3.3V. The Mini GPS Shield is compatible with any of our Arduino Mini boards. The board uses 3.3V logic; however, the shield's logic level converter allows you to use 5V boards just as easily. Mini boards have symmetrical pins, which means it's very easy to connect the shield backward. Connecting it backward will not damage either board, but it is something that could be easily overlooked. Please refer to the Hookup Guide below for correct installation instructions.

Features:

• Compatible with GP-735 with broken-out pins for most 3.3V tolerant GPS modules
• Supports backup battery options
• uSD memory card socket
• Works with any Arduino Mini board (3.3V or 5V)
• UART switch controls serial communications
• Configurable LED to display GPS lock
