PAM-7Q GPS Module

Parallax’s PAM-7Q GPS Module embeds the very capable uBlox PAM-7Q GPS device in a project-friendly module.  Suitable for any experience level, it provides all of the standard services like location fix, speed, heading, altitude measurements, and atomic date and time.

The user-friendly mounting holes and 5-pin header make it easy to integrate into solder-free breadboard projects, and the onboard voltage regulator and buffer circuitry mean its ready for use with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers.

Key Features:

• Useable in solder-free breadboard projects
• Ready for use with both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers
• Satellite-lock LED shows you when your module is on and receiving data
• Onboard super-capacitor preserves data for up to 30 minutes after power is disconnected

Application Ideas:

• Robo-Magellan projects
• Fleet tracking
• Heading and speed measurements
