MOTG-GPS is a small pluggable GPS module ideally suited for embedded systems. It incorporates a complete solution GPS engine module with an integrated finely tuned highly sensitive Patch-On-Top (POT) ceramic antenna and has a wide range of uses in educational, experimental as well as during any development phase where a quick GPS solution is required. It comes in a micro-SD memory card format which is designed to interface to any embedded platform that has an on board micro-SD (or SD) card adaptor.
Complete NMEA messages as well as specific information such as Longitude, Latitude, Heading, Time, Date, Speed and many more features are built inside the MOTG-GPS. The module utilises the standard SPI signals and acts as a slave device to the host micro. It offers a simple yet effective command set to any host platform that can communicate via a SPI port and all GPS related commands are sent using a simple protocol.
MOTG-GPS device simply plugs into a standard µSD/SD socket for quick assembly and maintenance, no need to solder and end up with a wiring nest. Don't need the device permanently, or want to make it optional? Simple, just unplug.
The MOTG-GPS is a novel concept from 4D Systems that belong to a broader range of Modules-On-The-Go series. Some of the other modules on offer are:
- MOTG-96: Pluggable 0.96" 96x64 OLED display module in a micro-SD card format.
- MOTG-128: Pluggable 1.5" 128x128 display module in a micro-SD card format.
- MOTG-RF24G: Pluggable 2.4Ghz RF Transceiver module in a micro-SD card format.
- MOTG-WiFi: Pluggable Wifi module in a micro-SD card format.
- More modules coming very soon....
