Teensy and GPS ?

[chris77]

Hi all,

I've just got my first Teensy (yay!), I'd like to know if I connect it to a gps module of some kind? Any thoughts, is this possible?

Take a look at this:

take a care if you need the gps to get the position or time, if you need the gps to sync a RTC, use a gps with PPS, like this http://www.adafruit.com/product/746, or make you own module with this http://www.aliexpress.com/item/FGPM...-generation-GPS-Chipset-MT3339/623742154.html

I am trying to get my GPs teensy add-on to work; first assembled board did not give the right power to the GPS module and I haven't got back to this project to fix it. But this will give you an idea of what is possible if I can just get the soldering right.

In fact, this board suffers from two design flaws; the antenna input should be on top and the antenna path should be 17 mils wide instead of the 30 mils in this design. This means I need to rotate the module by -90 degrees and design a better rf path to the antenna from the module. TBD

... if I can just get the soldering right.

for small projects you only need a good thermocouple (without sheath to fast response) and a solidstate rele to make you own reflow oven...
