GPS PMOD battery spec/antenna suggestion.

[StefanOR]

Hey All,

I know that the diameter of the cell should be 12.5mm, but what battery height should I use. Or any  cell suggestion would be appreciated.

Also any antenna suggestion would be appreciated. I am working with a zedboard as my base and will be using the 1PPS signal output for a project. I was hoping to get input from some people who have used the PMOD. Thanks! 

 

Best!

Hi @StefanOR

Anything less than .1 in or 2.54 mm should work for the battery. I believe it is a typical coin cell size.  We have not used an additional antenna with the Pmod GPS. I would suggest to reach out to GlobalTop for their suggestion on adding an additional antenna.

thank you,

Jon
