Resources and Going Further
We hope you have fun experimenting with your chip antennas. We find the variance in design and geometries fascinating as is the art of antenna design. Remember, all our designs are open source so you are welcome to use the footprints and layouts from our board in your own design. That’s the real power of this eval board - try out various antennas and if you like one you can implement it in your own tiny GPS receiver design!
For more information, check out the resources below:
- Schematic (PDF)
- Eagle Files (ZIP)
- Datasheets (PDF)
- GitHub Product Repo - Check out the repo for the latest hardware files.
- SFE Product Showcase
Be sure to check out some of the other tutorials we have around GPS:
LS20031 5Hz (66 Channel) GPS Receiver Hookup Guide
In this tutorial, we will solder headers to the surface mount pads of the LS20031 GPS receiver and read the output using an Arduino!
Getting Started with the GeoFence
How to get started using the GeoFence GPS Boundary Widget and GeoFence Software.
ESP32 Thing Motion Shield Hookup Guide
Getting started with the ESP32 Thing Motion Shield to detect movements using the on-board LSM9DS1 IMU and adding a GPS receiver. Data can be easily logged by adding an microSD card to the slot.
SparkFun GPS-RTK Dead Reckoning ZED-F9K Hookup Guide
The u-blox ZED-F9K is a powerful GPS-RTK unit that uses a fusion of IMU, wheel ticks, a vehicle dynamics model, correction data, and GNSS measurements to provide highly accurate and continuous position for navigation in the difficult conditions. We will quickly get you set up using the Qwiic ecosystem through Arduino so that you can start reading the output!
