From Brandon's Tinkerings
If you haven't heard about the SkyTraq NavSpark, it was an IndieGoGo Crowd Funding Project for an "Arduino Compatible with GPS GNSS Receiver".
I was lucky and was able to get the early funding for two of these modules with active antennas. Quick props to these guys, as they kept everyone updated before shipping, as they were narrowing down antenna choices.
I received mine the week of 06/02/14, and plan to use it more for a timing source, than navigation/location.
Below I'll link in as I create projects that use this chip.
Projects
- NavSpark GPS+GLONASS Stratum-1 NTP Time Source with a Raspberry Pi - Using one of the NavSpark modules, specifically the GPS+GLONASS one, use this with the NEMA Data and PPS to setup a Strat 1 NTP Time Source with the Raspberry Pi. Also now includes an RTC for keeping time between power cycles.
- NavSpark GPS+GLONASS Stratum-1 NTP Time Source+RTC with a BeagleBone Black - Using one of the NavSpark modules, specifically the GPS+GLONASS one, use this with the NEMA Data and PPS to setup a Strat 1 NTP Time Source with the Raspberry Pi. Also includes an RTC for keeping time between power cycles.
