GPS Shield With SD Card Slot for Arduino V2.0 B

Introduction

Arduino GPS shield is a GPS module breadout board designed for Global Positioning System receiver with SD interface. It is easy to use for recording the position data into SD card.

Features

• With SD interface
• Active antenna design with high receive sensitivity, compatible normal antenna
• Extremely fast time to first fix at low signal level
• UART interface
• Operation temperature: -40℃ ~ +85℃

Usage

Hardware Installation

Install GPS SD Shield V2-B onto Arduino Uno, and use jumpers to short TX and MRX, RX and MTX. In this way, the MCU talks to the GPS module.

Programming

Test GPS module

<syntaxhighlight lang="c">

void setup() {

   Serial.begin(9600);       

} void loop() {

 if (Serial.available() > 0) 
  { 
       Serial.print(char(Serial.read()));   
  }

}

</syntaxhighlight>

Compile and execute:

Test SD card

It can use the built-in SD card example code in Arduino IDE.

We can observe the date being written into SD card through serial port.
