Adafruit Mini GPS PA1010D - UART and I2C - STEMMA QT

This compact GPS breakout board is just 1" x 1" (25mm x 25mm) in size but packs a full GPS/GNSS solution, making it perfect for space-constrained projects. It features both I2C and UART interfaces, with a built-in antenna, making it plug-and-play for easy integration.

Key Features:

• Supports GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, and QZSS for global positioning
• High sensitivity with -165 dBm tracking and up to 10Hz updates for fast location tracking
• Can handle up to 210 PRN channels, with 99 search channels and 33 simultaneous tracking channels
• Low power consumption at only 30mA during navigation
• Breadboard-friendly design with 4 mounting holes for easy installation
• 5V compatible, with both UART and I2C interfaces to suit your preferred connection
• RTC (Real-Time Clock) battery-compatible, ideal for maintaining time even during power-downs
• PPS (Pulse Per Second) output with ±20ns jitter
• Built-in internal patch antenna, perfect for compact setups
• Low-power standby mode with a WAKE pin to conserve energy when not in use

The module is based on the MTK3333 chipset, known for its high quality and reliability. With a built-in antenna, this GPS module can provide high-speed location updates and exceptional tracking sensitivity, ideal for data logging or high-speed tracking applications.

Extras include:

• Ultra-low dropout 3.3V regulator for powering the GPS module with a 3.3V to 5VDC input
• 5V level-safe inputs on both UART and I2C
• Green power LED and a red PPS LED that blinks when a GPS fix is found
• Footprint for an optional CR1220 coin cell to keep the RTC running during power-downs

This breakout board also comes with SparkFun Qwiic-compatible STEMMA QT JST SH connectors, allowing for easy solderless connections with the right adapter cable (sold separately).

Each package includes:

• Fully assembled and tested GPS module
• Solderable header for breadboarding
• CR1220 coin cell holder (CR1220 battery not included, but available for purchase)

Perfect for a wide variety of GPS-based projects, this mini GPS module is easy to use with Arduino and Python, thanks to a well-supported library and a detailed tutorial with example code.
