Vendor:

Confused about your GPS not working well in urban or outsides under only one or a few satellite modules? Then you should not miss our new Grove-GPS (Air530).

It’s a high-performance, highly integrated multi-mode satellite positioning and navigation module to use with Arduino. It supports GPS / Beidou / Glonass / Galileo / QZSS / SBAS, which makes it suitable for GNSS positioning applications such as car navigation, smart wear, and drone. Meanwhile, this module is capable of receiving more than 6 satellites at the same time and is able to work excellently even if there's a very bad signal.

Highlighted Feature

  • Positioning error within 10 meters
  • Multi-mode satellite positioning & navigation and support more than 6 satellites at the same time
  • The position still quickly and accurately under the condition of a bad signal
  • Low power consumption at only 31uA
  • Compatible hard/soft interface for other modules
  • Adopt the integrated design of RF baseband, which integrates DC/DC, LDO, LNA, RF front-end, baseband processing, 32-bit RISC-based chip, RAM, FLASH storage, RTC, and power management functions

* CAUTIONS & NOTES

The test above is taken under bi-modules of GPS & Beidou.
  • The input power supply voltage of the Grove power supply interface, should not exceed 5.6V, otherwise, it may damage the device.
  • The voltage of the selected button battery should not exceed 3V, or it will probably damage the device.
