Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA2324:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description ***Some power supplies may introduce interference and prevent a GPS lock, if issue occurs try a different supply.*** It's 10 PM, do you know where your Raspberry Pi is? If you had this GPS HAT, you would! This new HAT from Adafruit adds Adafruit's celebrated Ultimate GPS on it, so you can add precision time and location to your Raspberry Pi Model A+, B+, or Pi 2 / 3 / 4. Here's the low-down on the GPS module: - -165 dBm sensitivity, 10 Hz updates, 66 channels - Only 20mA current draw - Built-in Real-Time Clock (RTC) - slot in a CR1220 backup battery for 7-years or more of timekeeping even if the Raspberry Pi is off! - PPS output on fix, by default connected to pin #4 - Internal patch antenna which works quite well when used outdoors + u.FL connector for external active antenna for when used indoors or in locations without a clear sky view - Fix status LED blinks to let you know when the GPS has determined the current coordinates Adafruit spun up a HAT based on Adafruit's Ultimate GPS, added a coin-cell holder for RTC usage, break-outs for all the Raspberry Pi's extra pins, and plenty of prototyping area for adding LEDs, sensors, and more. **Please note, this HAT takes over the Raspberry Pi's hardware UART to send/receive data to and from the GPS module**. So, if you need to use the RX/TX pins with a console cable, you cannot also use this HAT. Instead, you'll have to use a composite or HDMI monitor and keyboard to log in, or use ssh to connect over the network to your Pi. [Read up on Adafruit's tutorial for more information on how to use this fine HAT](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ultimate-gps-hat-for-raspberry-pi/) Comes as a fully assembled GPS + PCB and an additional 2x20 GPIO header. Some light soldering is required to attach the 2x20 GPIO header to the HAT but it's fast and easy for anyone with a soldering iron and solder. [You can also swap the plain female header Adafruit have with a 'stacky' type that lets you plug in a hat or GPIO cable on top](https://core-electronics.com.au/gpio-header-for-raspberry-pi-b-extra-long-2x20-female-header.html) or a [slim ultra-low-profile header.](https://core-electronics.com.au/gpio-header-for-raspberry-pi-hat-2x20-short-female-header.html) **To make air-shipping eaiser, this HAT does not come with a 12mm coin battery!** A CR1220 will let you use the real-time-clock capability of the GPS HAT, [you can pick one up locally or order one from us](https://core-electronics.com.au/cr1220-replacement-battery-for-icufflinks-inecklace.html). ![//www.youtube.com/embed/evUJcpuhmD8?start=215](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/hqdefault_527824d05c5.jpg) ## Technical Details - Dimensions w/ components: 65mm x 56mm x 7mm / 2.6" x 2.2" x 0.3" - [Datasheets, EagleCAD PCB files, and Fritzing object available in the product tutorial](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ultimate-gps-hat-for-raspberry-pi/downloads) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/rohs_icon_8216055e11.jpg) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/2/3/2324-07.jpg)
