Richard Grimmett has more fun that should be allowed working on robotics projects while teaching Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Brigham Young University Idaho. He has a Bachelors and Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Leadership Studies. He also has 26 years of experience in the Radar and Telecommunications industries, and even has one of the original brick phones. He has written books on the basics of using the BeagleBone Black for robotics projects, and another for the Raspberry PI and yet another for the Arduino.

Connecting a GPS device directly to Arduino

The first step is to find a suitable GPS device. There are many choices, but what you are looking for is a GPS device that can communicate via a bus that is available on Arduino. One possible device is VPN1513 GPS Receiver w/ Antenna, marketed by Parallax and available on their online store, www.parallax.com. The following is an image of the device:

Fortunately, this unit comes with its very own antenna, and you'll connect this to the RF (gold) connector on the board. This particular device interfaces using the I2C interface, one that your Arduino supports. In order to connect the device, you connect the pins to the board. The following is an image of these pins:

You'll connect your Arduino using the following connections:

Arduino pin

GPS cable pin

5V

5V

GND

GND

4

TX

3

RX

Now that the two devices are connected, you can access the device via the Arduino IDE.
