Summary of change:
'''GPS related subpage of GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmWare''' * connect a GPS module to the second serial port (either 0/3V FBUS or -/+8V RS232 voltage level) * and just report some data on the LCD * report to MegaTune * log (later, when MMC is ready) ---- '''Hardware''' There are several modules out there, some popular ones: * GPS-JP10 Falcom GPS SiRF-3 15 300 Ft * GPS-JP7-T Falcom GPS SiRF-2 9 990 Ft * GPS-JP7-TX Falcom GPS SiRF-2 XTrack2 12 980 Ft * GPS-TIM-LC TIM GPS no Flash 11 430 Ft * GPS-TIMB TIM GPS receiver mchip 13 380 Ft * TIM GPS demo vevőmodul TIM + táp + RS-232 + SMB 21 000 Ft * Emil found "NMEA GPS Modules" on ebay for as low as $80/5 ! Sounds like a good buy (hopefully not too risky). Above prices are wholesale purchase prices (1 Ft = 0.005 USD), '''without''' antenna, VAT, shipping, and support. I propose we buy appr. 20 modules initially for WebShop (developers and finally anyone). ---- '''Antenna''' Remember that microwave antenna and cabling is always a pain. Although it is possible to place the unit in GenBoard/VerThree Alubos case with an endplate-mounted connector, it's more efficient (and general! think: many customers for usage without v3.x) to get an appropriate box and use cable for serial conn + power rather than microwave. * antenna at ebay (from $15) with SMA ? connector * ... ? ---- '''Box''' Small offtheshelf box: suction type would be nice for mounting * ... ?
