GPS 4 click PID MIKROE-2704 GPS 4 click carries the L70 compact GPS module from Quectel. The click is designed to run on either 3.3V or 5V power supply. It communicates with the target microcontroller over UART interface, with additional functionality provided by the following pins on the mikroBUS line PWM, AN, RST. L70 module features L70, an SMD type module, brings the high performance of MTK positioning engine to the industrial applications with a compact profile, ultra low power consumption and fast positioning capability. Combining advanced AGPS called EASY Embedded Assist System and proven AlwaysLocate technology, L70 achieves the highest performance and fully meets the industrial standard. EASY technology ensures L70 can calculate and predict orbits automatically using the ephemeris data up to 3 days stored in internal RAM memory, so L70 can fix position quickly even at indoor signal levels with low power consumption. With AlwaysLocate technology, L70 can adaptively adjust the on/off time to achieve a balance between positioning accuracy and power consumption according to the environmental and motion conditions.
