DS-GPM.S

  • The GPM.S is part of the Designer Systems Global Positioning System (GPS) range of modules for the Arduino, Raspberry-Pi or any other I2C bus platform. It features a 99 Channel GPS/GLONASS engine with fast Time To First Fix (TTFF), 2.5m accuracy and a four channel IO port all of which is fully accessable over the high speed I2C interface. Full on-board processing of NMEA sentances leaves the host platform to perform other tasks.

  • All our products are designed and manufactured in the UK.

Description

The Designer Systems DS-GPM.S is a highly integrated Global Positioning System allowing your robotic application to determine its location on the earth's surface from both GPS and GLONASS satellites. Specifically targeted at the Arduino board and Raspberry-Pi user the GPM.S features I2C communication to leave the serial [TX/RX] port free for other functions eg. wireless communication. GPS data received by the DS-GPM is stored within internal registers which are updated once per second and include: Latitude (i.e. vertical), Longitude (i.e. horizontal), Altitude (metres), Time & date (UTC), Heading (True), Speed (kilometres per hour) and Satellites detected. In addition the DS-GPM.S features an on-board fully configurable four line programmable IO and analogue input port with automatic measurement.

Features

  • Arduino UNO Shield standard form factor for simple integration into any Arduino project.
  • I2C interface for simple connection to Arduino or Raspberry-PI.
  • Gives your robot the ability to know where it is, how fast its moving and in what direction.
  • Fast 99-channel position acquisition with battery backup for fast < 1 second hot start and < 30 second warm start.
  • Simple register based data retrieval of latitude, longitude, heading, altitude, speed, time, date & satellites used.
  • Integral low power antenna.
  • Built in fully programmable 4 line IO and 8 bit ADC input port for local sensors.
