SparkFun GNSS Receiver Breakout - MAX-M10S Module 3.3V VCC and I/O Software Configurable Board Dimensions: 1.74"in x 1.20"in

Description

The SparkFun MAX-M10S Breakout is an ultra-low-power, GNSS board that is perfect for battery operated applications that don't possess a lot of space. The SparkFun MAX-M10S Breakout is an ultra-low-power, high performance, miniaturized GNSS board that is perfect for battery operated applications that don't possess a lot of space, such as asset trackers and wearable devices. The MAX-M10S module from u-blox has an extremely low power consumption that is less than 25mW in continuous tracking mode. The on-board MAX-M10S GNSS receiver can receive signals from the GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo constellations. Thanks to the u-blox Super-S technology, the module offers improved RF sensitivity with small antennas and in non-line-of-sight scenarios. We've included an SMA connector for a sturdy connection when attaching an external antenna. This reduces the time-to-first fix from a cold start (~24s) to a hot start (~1s). This increases precision and decreases lock time in battery operated devices without compromising GNSS performance. Additionally, this u-blox receiver supports I2C which makes it perfect for Qwiic compatibility so we don't have to use up our precious UART ports. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still broke out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard. For users that prefer to communicate over UART, we made sure to configure the UART pin grouping to an industry standard to ensure that it easily connects to a Serial Basic.
