Grove - GPS Sensor (Air530)

Grove GPS (Air530)

Are you confused about your GPS not working well in the city or outdoors with only one or a few satellite modules? Then you should not miss the Grove GPS (Air530). It is a powerful, highly integrated multi-mode satellite positioning and navigation module for use with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi etc.. It supports GPS / Beidou / Glonass / Galileo / QZSS / SBAS, making it suitable for GNSS positioning applications such as car navigation, smart wear and drones. Meanwhile, this module is able to receive more than 6 satellites at the same time and works great even with very poor signal. 

Special features

• Highly integrated multi-mode satellite positioning & navigation and supports more than 6 satellites simultaneously
• High-precision positioning: position remains fast and accurate even with poor signal
• Integrated RF baseband design: DC/DC, LDO, LNA, RF front-end, baseband processing and 32-bit integrated, RISC-based chip, RAM, FLASH memory, RTC and power management functions
• Low power consumption: only 31uA
• High compatibility: hard/soft interface for other modules

Applications

• GPS unit with track recording
• GPS navigation
• Distance measurement
• Car navigation
• Drone

Specification

Precautions

• The input voltage of Grove's power supply interface should not exceed 5.6V, otherwise it may cause damage to the device.
• The voltage of the selected button battery should not exceed 3V, otherwise the device is likely to be damaged.

What is Grove?

Grove facilitates connection, experimentation and simplifies the prototyping process. No jumpers or soldering are required. More than 300 Grove modules have been developed to cover a wide range of applications and fulfill a variety of requirements. Not only the hardware is open source, but also the software. We offer different Grove Shields to connect to the Grove system with various microcontrollers.
