• GPS Shield kit for Arduino microcontrollers
• Track and even log GPS position using your Arduino.
• Soldering and assembly required
• GPS module and SD card sold separately
The Adafruit GPS Logger Shield Kit for Arduino allows you to track GPS position and also offers data-logging capability. After building this kit, you can create your own geo-locative project. Please note that this shield does not come with a GPS module or SD card, they are sold separately. This shield is designed to make GPS projects straight-forward and easy. Plug in a supported GPS module and run any of the example Arduino sketches for parsing GPS data (NMEA sentences), logging to a FAT16-formatted SD flash memory card and storing analog sensor data along with precise location, date and time in CSV format. The shield is designed specifically for use with the EM-406a module: the small surface-mount GPS connector is pre-soldered for you (it is a high-quality engine with quick time-to-fix and excellent reception, even in downtown New York City!) It can also be used with a Tyco A1035D, EB-85A or Lassen IQ module. Please note that the library is rather bulky, requiring 12K of flash and more than 1/2 K of RAM for buffering SD card memory blocks. The examples work fine on ATmega168-based Arduino (or compatible) but for more complex projects we strongly recommend upgrading to an ATmega328.
This Adafruit GPS Logger Shield Kit for Arduino supports any of four popular GPS modules and stores data on a standard DOS-formatted SD flash memory card. Simply plug it into your computer when you've finished your data capture and the plain text files are ready for importing into Google Earth, GPSvisualizer, or a spreadsheet.
