Embedded Artists EA-ACC-023 GPS Receiver Board

This Global Positioning System (GPS) module is a high quality unit that can track up to 22 satellites over 66 channels, using its built-in ceramic patch antenna and a receiver that has -165dBm sensitivity. The module is based on the popular XBee form factor so will be easy to integrate into any design. The board has an Embedded Artists standard 14-pos (50-mil pitch) expansion connector and communicates with the GPS-module via the UART interface.

Included in kit is a GPS Receiver Board (based on PA6H GPS module) in XBeeTM compatible form factor and two 1 x 10 pin headers that can be soldered to plug the board in an XBee socket.
