Nano GPS click, with the world's smallest GPS module
Posted: 05 Aug 2015 21:01
Nano GPS click released
Nano GPS click carries the world’s smallest GPS module, Nano Hornet from
OriginGPS. Measuring 10x10x3.8mm (patch antenna included), it’s about the size of a
shirt button, and equally suitable as a wearable.
Because of the small module, Nano GPS click is also the smallest of all GPS click
boards, packing the module and all additional components on an S sized board. It’s an
ideal prototyping platform if you’re designing devices that need to fit a GPS into a small
form factor.
Plug it into the mikroBUS™ socket and you’ll discover that the Nano Hornet doesn’t make
any trade offs to achieve its size. Its time to first fix is less than one second, with an
accuracy of approximately one meter, and tracking sensitivity down to -163dBm.
The main communication with the target board is done through the UART interface.
Additional pins provide Reset, Wake Up (monitors power state), and On and Off
functionality.
So all in all, it’s a GPS with great performance — with the added benefit of being sized
down. More details are available on the product page. The libstock example is also
ready.
Yours sincerely,
MikroElektronika
