Adafruit GPS logger shield kit

Transform your Arduino setup with this versatile GPS shield, designed to effortlessly facilitate geo-location projects. With built-in data-logging functions, it allows seamless integration of a GPS module to capture and process location data.

Simply affix a supported GPS module, such as the EM-406a, and dive into ready-made Arduino sketches for extracting GPS data, logging it to a FAT16-formatted SD card, and recording analog sensor information alongside precise location details in CSV format.

The GPS shield boasts a pre-soldered small surface-mount connector tailored for compact modules, ensuring robust performance even in dense urban environments. While compatible with various modules like the Tyco A1035D, EB-85A, or Lassen IQ, specifics can be explored on the accompanying webpage.

Please be aware that operation demands include an Arduino and SD memory card, which are not part of the kit. Given the library's size, it occupies 12K of flash memory and over 0.5K of RAM, making an ATmega328 advisable for sophisticated projects.

Enjoy approximately three hours of runtime with a 9V battery. Extend this to 12 hours by using a MintyBoost, provided no power-saving strategies are activated. Extensive project details, including example code and technical specifications, are accessible online for further exploration.
