Description of Gowoops GPS Module with Active Antenna: Perfect for Arduino STM32 51 Single Chip Microcomputer

1. With micro USB port, you can use general mobile phone cable to connect the GPS module to your computer. Do not need USB-TTL, convenien for use. 2. The GPS module has ceramic passive antenna, you can search the satelite in a open area, do not need the external antenna. 3. With SMA port, convenient for connect with the 3m Active Antenna, stronger satelite search ability. 4. With the reserved TTL port, covenient for connect to USB-TTL or external single chip microcomputer.

Ideal for rapid prototyping

Awesome. I was able to read the values from the Arduino Uno. I could also send configuration commands to reduce the output. I have a stable signal from scratch. A direct USB connection to a PC is a plus to check what the module is doing. Acquiring, verifying and integrating information and software was the most arduous part.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Bad impression

Works perfectly. Connects to RPi 3 at home.

Works perfectly. Connects to RPi 3 with homemade 4 pin cable. I also released PPS for my project. By default, PPS is disabled until GPS is blocked. This is configurable. I'm not sure if I should swap the serial ports. As far as I can tell, the mini-UART just works with Jessie's upgrade. If not, there are many websites that discuss this issue and how to fix it (GPU Clock Speed Fix). Replacing the serial ports also works.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • No power

Great option for a small

Great option for a small full featured GPS receiver. I am using this GPS receiver for a sync application. u-blox neo-6 has some very useful features for synchronizing with UTC. In addition to the "external" antenna, this device has two features that are particularly useful for my application. It has a small built-in battery that keeps the GPS almanac going (at least) all day long. When driving a 3.3.v device I can connect both serial and 1pps signals directly to the inputs of my Arduino WITHOUT

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Modern

Not for long - GPS, finder and accessories

I have used this product as part of a system that tracks weather balloons in real time relative to my own position. While it works phenomenally in service, its durability is questionable. The NEO chip's heatsink fell off within the first few days. Second, TTFF is very uneven on this chip even with a GPS antenna. Sometimes it took a few minutes, but in the same place it could take up to an hour. Then, when it came time to use it to track weather balloons for an aviation project at my college, it

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Vulgarity

I bought this box because the schematic shows that I2C is available (SDA, SCL) but it's not on the box itself. This detracts from the project I was working on due to the limited I/O availability seriously. I switched to an Arduino Mega2560 with multiple serial ports and spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get 100% reliable communication with the Gowoops GPS module, but that didn't happen. I changed the configuration with U-Center and increased the scan speed to 5Hz, baud rate to 115200

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost never
