“Used with a breakout garden.
Works great, even indoors in a patchy signal area I was able to get a fix from 4 satellites.
May take a while to start up but this could be due to my location and needs more testing. Also needs more testing to see the accuracy levels, but when plotted up the results more accurately portray my location than Google maps on my phone.”
“GPS PA1010D is a very good thing. Small and compact dimensions, with a built-in internal antenna that works indoors.
Tested 100% works well.
Any recommendation.”
“Wow - wired up 4 wires - Gnd, Vcc, SDA, SCK, to my Arduino processor, ran the example test code GPS_I2C_EchoTest.ino and within a few seconds the board had found 5 satellites and was reporting, time, position, altitude etc. Amazing. My board also has the BNO055 9DOF as you see.”
“Works great! I modified the example Python program and had everything up and running on my KD01 robot (see NZPRG) within about twenty minutes.
As with any GPS, it can't find satellites while indoors, but I carried the robot outside and it quickly found about 8 satellites (in New Zealand). I'm able to bring the robot back indoors and maintain 4-5 satellites inside my wood-framed residential house. And with the little supercapacitor, I can power down my robot, power it back up and it still finds four of the satellites, indoors. Nice!
And the blinking green LED is a bonus as I can immediately tell when it's found a satellite. Another great addition to your Breakout Garden series. I look forward to more.”
