Product Description
Variant: Pico-GPS-L76K.
The L76K GNSS Module for Raspberry Pi Pico adds satellite positioning to Raspberry Pi Pico and Pico 2 projects. It supports combined positioning using multiple satellite systems or independent positioning using a single system. The board is intended for developers implementing navigation functions and collecting position data on the Raspberry Pi Pico platform.
It connects through the Raspberry Pi Pico female header and exchanges data over UART. A 5 V supply is required, and a GPS antenna is included. Online development resources provide Raspberry Pi Pico C/C++ and MicroPython examples for software integration.
Highlights
- Standard Raspberry Pi Pico header for Raspberry Pi Pico series boards.
- Support for GPS, BeiDou (BDS), GLONASS and QZSS.
- Built-in low-noise amplifier (LNA) for improved reception sensitivity.
- Built-in SAW filter for noise suppression.
- A-GNSS support to assist positioning.
