Ks0253 keyestudio GPS Shield
keyestudio GPS Shield
Introduction
It is based on the NEO - 6 u blox 6 GPS module, and its pins are compatible with Arduino/MEGA board. Regular GPS pins (RX, TX) can be connected to Arduino D0-D7. Several GPS receivers are easily installed on the expansion board and you can find your exact position within a few meters. At the same time, GPS also provides a very accurate time for you! It is applied to automobile navigation, personal positioning, team management, navigation and so on.
Performance Parameters
- Compatible with main controller on the market,such as UNO R3 and MEGA2560
- Using 6-channel LED indicator to show the working condition of program for modulating program conveniently
- Switching functions with 3-channel keyswitch
- One reset button
- Using revolving potentiometer to do analog input
- Alarming and making sound by passive buzzer module
- Using 4 bit LED Segment Displays to display data
Sample Code
