SmartElex GPS Data Logger Shield for Arduino Boards

SmartElex GPS Data Logger Shield for Arduino Boards The SmartElex GPS Data Logger Shield for Arduino Boards is a practical solution for adding GPS positioning and data logging functionality to your DIY electronics projects. Built around the Quectel L86 GNSS module, this Arduino GPS shield supports multiple satellite navigation systems, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS, helping your projects receive location data from different satellite constellations. Its onboard patch antenna simplifies setup, while the external active GPS antenna connector and automatic antenna switching provide additional flexibility when the shield is installed inside an enclosure. The integrated Micro SD card slot allows you to record GPS information for later analysis, making it useful for route tracking, geocaching, vehicle monitoring, robotics navigation, and high-altitude balloon experiments. With 99 acquisition channels, 33 tracking channels, and support for DGPS and SBAS augmentation systems, this Arduino GPS data logger shield is well suited to students, hobbyists, and developers working on location-based applications. It is designed for Arduino UNO and Leonardo boards and offers a convenient way to explore GPS tracking, satellite navigation, and embedded data collection.
