Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), or as we commonly refer to it, "GPS", enable precise positioning on Earth. Thanks to this module, you can utilize GNSS for your project, whether for asset tracking or creating a portable device. The module is compact, energy-efficient, highly effective, and easy to use due to its integrated antenna.
The L86-M33 is a GNSS receiver, meaning it can receive signals from GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo constellations. Equipped with EASY (Embedded Assist System for self-generated orbit prediction) and AlwaysLocate technologies, the L86-M33 ensures fast and accurate positioning even in challenging environments. Its advanced internal logger, LOCUS, allows you to store your routes and location data.
In addition to the aforementioned L86-M33 module with its integrated antenna, our breakout board also features a socket for a CR1220 battery, which serves as a backup for timekeeping and GPS data. The module can also operate without a battery but will need to retrieve data from satellites anew each time (cold start). If the integrated antenna is insufficient, there is an IPX connector on the board for attaching an external, more powerful antenna. To facilitate easy access to the module's pins, the pins on the board are made accessible.
