The board also supports a connection to the faster and more accurate UBlox GPS module. The easiest way to connecto to
the GPS is with this adapter.
We suggest using the PICkit2 or PICkit3 to program the board.
You will also need a cable DEV-00611 and a 6-pin header PRT-00131. See example connection photo to the
right.
Note: On the 6 pin debug
header, the pin next to the reset button is VPP, according to this convention.
Features:
-
Connection for either a 20-Channel EM-406A SiRF III GPS Receiver or 50-Channel GS407 Helical GPS Receiver (receivers not included) - PIC dsPIC30F4011 Controller (with onboard 3.3V and 5V glue logic)
- dsPIC runs at 120MHz with 16MHz resonator and PLL
