M-Short on GPS-13750 - SparkFun GPS Logger Shield

Sorry I didn’t see this before now. This should fit on any Arduino Uno R3 or the SparkFun Redboard. You do have to solder headers to the shield though. Once the stackable headers are soldered on it sits higher on the boards that it looks like at first glance.

There is no RTC, but if using GPS you can grab time from the GPS unit which I believe was the intention.

Hi,

Does this unit has its own RTC or should we externally integrate one? In the schematics I could not see it and need to make sure.

Thanks,

Fatih.

Is there any information about the max altitude this module will work up to? I’m looking at using it for high altitude ballooning and I wanted to make sure it works up to at least 100,000ft before using it. Quick skim over the datasheet didn’t provide any altitude info…

Is there an arduino board this is supposed to fit snugly on? On my uno R3 it gets blocked by the USB port, and on my redboard by the power port. I have extra tall headers so its not a big problem, just seems like it should be able to sit snugly

Thanks for the replay. Actually I’m working with a Redboard and looking to 3.3V arduino pro since the majority of the sensors that I’m working with are 3.3V.

This shield is made to be compatible with most 3.3V or 5V Arduinos - I bet yours’ll work. The board takes its power in from what is usually the Arduino’s 5V pin. But even if your Arduino has 3.3V there, that should still be enough to feed the 3.3V LDO regulator on-board.

You’ll also need to make sure the IOREF pin is tied to 3.3V as well. Or, if your Arduino doesn’t have an IOREF pin, you can set the IOREF jumper to 3.3V on the shield. There’s more info in this section of the hookup guide.

I’m stepping my game with arduinos and now I am looking to 3,3V arduino. Unfortunately, I found that most of the shields (like this one) use 5V as main. Is there any tutorial to hack this shields to be fed with 3,3V?

Why not pick a GPS module that has external antenna input with a uFL connector? Limits your application possibilities to just use the module’s antenna.
