E3 GPS Module

This GPS module can be used to develop a GPS protocol with a PIC^® MCU. This module provides direct access to the PIC^® MCU for collecting data and sending commands. This module has 5V I/O that can easily be connected to any CCS development board.

Example projects:

• Clock to show accurate date/time from a satellite.
• Logging program to save locations traveled over time. Dump data in a CSV format to view on Google maps.
• Calculate distance in feet between two points identified by pressing a button.
• Monitor the Lat/Long for a fixed position GPS. Over time calculate amount the location drifts. Figure out if a more stable reading can be obtained averaging over time and calculate accuracy vs sample time. Continue the analysis of the GPS capabilities by determining the reliable resolution of the data.
• Use two GPS units and two Zigbee™ transceivers to create a differential system. One GPS remains fixed and sends drift numbers to the other GPS to correct the position. Figure out how much this improves accuracy and resolution.
