M5Stack ATOMIC GPS Base (M8030-KT)

With the M5Stack ATOMIC GPS Base, you experience reliable and precise GPS tracking for your M5Stack atom modules. Equipped with the powerful M8030-KT navigation chip, this module enables you to capture and store your geographical data through a built-in flash memory function. Thanks to the support for multiple satellite systems like GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS, SBAS, and QZSS, you benefit from flexible and accurate positioning, even under challenging conditions. The high sensitivity and ability to search for satellite signals across 72 channels guarantee you precise data. Another highlight is the integrated microSD card slot, which allows you to store and read GPS data. This compact GPS solution is versatile—from vehicle and ship navigation to tracking movement patterns.

Features:

• Compatibility: The GPS module is specifically designed for the ATOM series (Atom Lite, Matrix, S3) and can be easily integrated.
• Satellite Support: Supports various satellite systems like GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BDS for higher positioning accuracy.
• Memory: Equipped with a self-elastic TF (microSD) card slot for flexible storage and retrieval of GPS data.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for energy-efficient use to allow longer operation times.
• Data Logging: Transmits data in the NMEA-0183 protocol, a standardized format used in many applications.

Usage Examples:

• Vehicle and ship navigation for precise route guidance.
• Real-time tracking and monitoring of vehicles.
• Recording and analysis of movement points on maps.
• Data management via the microSD card for flexible file storage.
• Usage optimization through easy integration into IoT and navigation systems.
