Product Description
The LC29H Series Dual-band GPS Module for Raspberry Pi with RTK adds satellite positioning to Raspberry Pi systems and Jetson Nano. The LC29H(DA) version operates as an RTK rover, processing correction data for centimeter-level positioning. It is intended for developers of tracking systems, connected two-wheelers and agricultural machinery. Connection is through the 40-pin GPIO header or USB, and an active GNSS antenna is included. RTK operation requires correction data from a reference station or a suitable service.
Highlights
- Standard 40-pin GPIO extension header for Raspberry Pi and support for Jetson Nano.
- Simultaneous L1+L5 signal tracking reduces multipath effects in urban canyons.
- Concurrent reception of GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS.
- Dual-band RTK rover with fast convergence for centimeter-level positioning.
- Built-in low-noise amplifier and SAW filter with −165 dBm tracking sensitivity.
Technical Features
