With the introduction of the ESP32-CAN-X2 development board, it was suggested we also create a range of accessory boards in the form of “bolt-ons” – and that name stuck!
Adding high performance GPS
Our first bolt on is a GPS receiver – this uses the same high performance Skytraq SUP500F GPS receiver uses in the RaceCapture/Track MK1.
Features:
- High performance Skytraq SUP500F GPS receiver with integrated antenna
- 1/5/10/50 Hz update rate
- 65 Channel GPS L1 C/A Code
- Perform 8 million time-frequency hypothesis testing per second
- Open sky hot start 1 sec
- Open sky cold start 29 sec
- Signal detection is better than -161dBm
- Multipath detection and suppression
- Accuracy 2.5m CEP
- Maximum update rate 10 Hz
- Tracking current ~33mA
- Includes spot for CR1220 battery for GPS almanac backup, for faster restarts
It’s DIY – Soldering required
This bolt on requires soldering – see the full documentation on our wiki. Speaking of documentation, we have some great examples, including parsing GPS data into Latitude / Longitude / Speed messages, as well as broadcasting GPS data on CAN bus. Check it out on our github repository.
