I have assembled a GPS module to a breakout board for use with the WSPR transmitters that I have brought from \u00a0Hans Summers G0UPL (www.hanssummers.com<\/a> – more info here<\/a>). Delivery should be any day now :-).<\/p>\n

The GPS module, from PV Electronics<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0doesn\u2019t have a PPS output,\u00a0 but is useful for co-ordinates and keeping the real time clock accurate in the transmitter; critical for WSPR. The WSPR transmitter can derive its maidenhead locator from the GPS module.<\/p>\n

Pictures below with notes.<\/p>\n

The Kit as delivered, just five components<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A nice compact size \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Solder paste has been put on, and GPS module seated, ready for soldering.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Close up of back two joints.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

And a close up of the front 10 joints<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Added the four other components, 2 capacitors, 1 resistor, and a diode. I will add some header pins later for easy removal and reconnecting between the transmitters.<\/p><\/div>\n

Update 12th July 2012<\/strong>
\nI have just been informed that my orders for the Ultimate QRSS transmitters have been shipped. In the meantime I have decided to check to see if the GPS module, now with the header pins added, works.
