 MikroElektronika - SmartGPS Board - LEA6S GPS Development Tool

What is SmartGPS?

SmartGPS Board is a compact solution for adding GPS functionality to your device, featuring popular LEA-6S module. Board has DIP switches for flexible choice of communication lines with various development systems.

Communication

Communication is done using UART or USB connection. Board can be used both with a microcontroller, or data can be acquired using PC application through USB. All communication lines can be driven with 3.3V or 5V logic.

Operating voltage

Board can be powered from your 5V or 3.3V development board, or through USB cable, or by providing external power supply (7V to 23V AC or 9V to 32V DC). Just make sure to place power supply jumper in the appropriate position before operation.
