The Gravity GNSS Positioning & Timing Module is a technological marvel that combines satellite positioning functionality with a real-time clock (RTC). Designed with precision in mind, this module automatically obtains satellite time, seamlessly calibrating the onboard RTC chip during a preset period. This feature is especially beneficial in ensuring accurate time display even after extended operation or unforeseen disruptions.
By intelligently cutting off power to the GNSS chip after calibration, the module greatly reduces system power consumption compared to traditional GNSS solutions. For those who require constant positioning, the module can be configured to keep GNSS active, consistently providing accurate location data including longitude, latitude, time, and altitude.
This versatile module offers data output via I2C and UART, making it compatible with devices such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi. It excels in applications where precision timing is crucial, such as astronomical observation, NTP servers, and outdoor wireless sensor time synchronization.
Distinctly more efficient than the traditional Gravity GNSS GPS BeiDou Receiver Module, this upgraded version not only supports both indoor and outdoor scenarios but also minimizes power use by shutting off the GNSS when inactive. This innovation makes it particularly ideal for long-duration projects where energy conservation is key.
