PA1010D GPS Breakout

• PA1010D GPS Breakout Module
• Ultra-sensitive GPS/GLONASS/GALILEO receiver module
• Rapid signal lock after power down with supercapacitor
• High accuracy 1-PPS timing support (±20ns jitter)
• Raspberry Pi-compatible pinout and I2C interface

The PA1010D GPS Breakout Module allows your project to determine its precise location in the world with its ultra-sensitive global positioning capabilities. This I2C breakout features a PA1010D GPS receiver module with an inbuilt ceramic antenna, enabling the extraction of date and time, latitude, longitude, speed, and altitude data from satellites.

Additionally, the module is equipped with a supercapacitor, which functions as a short-term backup battery for GPS data. This feature allows the module to lock back onto signals more quickly after a power down. An indicator LED is also present, flashing whenever the module has a satellite fix.

This GPS breakout module can be connected to a weather station or other measuring devices to provide highly accurate time, date, and location stamps. Furthermore, it can be combined with a display breakout to create a modular GPS navigation system or treasure-hunting device. However, it is important to note that this breakout should not be relied upon as the sole navigation device at sea or in the wilderness.
