GPS:

  • Use GPS module Ublox Neo-7M, or NEO-6M or ATGM332 compatible GPS module. All have the same performace.
  • Fast and high speed locating.
  • By test
    • with our 3M meter GPS antenna, fixed in 30 seconds
    • by small ceramic antenna fixed in 3- 10 mintues, in brand new module.
  • On board backup battery, for next time quick fix location.
  • On board 1PPS fix GPS LED to indication location is fixed.
  • Interruption pin and 1PPS pin can connect to RPI by jumper.

Reserved Lora RF Transceiver (Module need to be purchased alone):

  • Please notice lora module is not soldered.
  • Please notice the footprint of this lora module ONLY support the one selling in our store, other version is not supported and it is different.
  • Support “low cost lora gateway” simple run ./lora_gateway, frequency is top important.
  • Better attached antenna, a high performance antenna is critical for signal.
  • Support our type loraduino board, SX1278/76. Also use low cost lora gateway
  • CE chip select pin can be chose by CE0, CE1 or gpio25 by jumper. For dragino code, please close jumper GPIO25.
  • Lora DIO0 connects to GPIO4, attached with on board LED.

MicroSD:

  • Support micro SD card, CE pin also selectable by CE0 or CE1

Other Features:

  • All the breakout pins for raspberry pi
  • Break out IIC pins
  • On board power led

Antenna:

  • Versertile GPS and Lora antenna connection, see more description in wiki page.

    My first bench tests were done when the shield was not attached to the Raspberry Pi GPIO. Powered by a ‘PL2303HX USB to COM/UART/TTL Integrated Programmer Cable’ had 5 volts (red) to GPIO pin 2, Ground (black) to pin 6, and serial data out (green) to pin 10, and therefore the dongle could be plugged into any system with a serial terminal at 9600 baud. The Shield does requires a ‘GPS Magnetic Active External Antenna w/ 3m cable’ which is also very convienient as the antenna can be placed outside a window.
    As there is no lithium battery storing ephemeris data, a cold power will always take some time. The $GPRMC data = time showed after 8 seconds, date after 27 and full lat/long data after 1m40 seconds. With a full view of the sky the data will be much faster.

    At this stage
