Expect dispatch between Sep 15 and Sep 17
For use in Australia
- Operate only in bands and with settings that are permitted for your location and application. Check this product’s supported frequencies in the description/specs.
- If you intend to operate outside shared/licence‑exempt conditions (e.g. in other bands, at higher power, with high‑gain antennas, or extended duty cycles), you must have the appropriate authorisation.
For use in other regions
- Follow the spectrum rules for your country/region and select frequencies and settings accordingly.
A declaration of use will need to be submitted during checkout.
Equip your Raspberry Pi projects with meter-level, dual-band GNSS positioning using the SparkFun DAN-F10N GNSS Flex pHAT. This development platform combines our versatile GNSS Flex pHAT carrier board with the reliable DAN-F10N GNSS Flex Module, providing an affordable and easy-to-integrate solution for any single-board computer with a 40-pin header.
The GNSS Flex pHAT acts as the bridge between your Raspberry Pi and the modular SparkPNT ecosystem. It mounts securely via an extended 40-pin header and connects to the included GNSS module using standardized 2x10-pin headers, making it simple to swap modules for repairs or future upgrades.
- Raspberry Pi Connectivity: Standard 40-pin GPIO header for a direct, secure connection.
- USB-C Port: Provides an alternative data interface to the GNSS module.
- microSD Card Slot: Perfect for data logging position, velocity, and time data.
- Mounting Hardware Included: Comes with the necessary standoffs, screws, and an extended header for a clean, stable setup.
Economical Urban Performance
At the heart of this module is the affordable u-blox DAN-F10N, engineered to excel where other receivers struggle. By harnessing dual-band L1/L5 GNSS technology and a sophisticated multipath mitigation engine, it delivers meter-level accuracy in challenging environments like dense urban canyons.
Additionally, its robust RF architecture features a SAW-LNA-SAW filter chain and an additional notch filter for the LTE B13 band. This design provides exceptional out-of-band interference rejection, ensuring clean signal reception even when operating near cellular modems.
Flexible Antenna Options
The DAN-F10N includes a high-performance, integrated 20mm x 20mm x 8mm dual-band patch antenna. This Right-Hand Circularly Polarized (RHCP) antenna offers a wide beamwidth, giving you flexibility in device orientation without sacrificing performance. Need even more range? An onboard switch allows you to easily connect an external dual-band antenna to maximize signal reception for your specific application.
Powerful Software & Connectivity
Get up and running quickly with comprehensive software support. The DAN-F10N is fully compatible with the u-blox u-center 2 GNSS software, a tried and tested tool for real-time performance analysis, configuration, and data logging.
- Fast Acquisition: Utilize AssistNow Online, Offline, and Autonomous A-GNSS services for significantly reduced time-to-first-fix.
- Standard Protocols: Interface directly with the module using the industry-standard NMEA 4.11 or the powerful UBX binary protocol for advanced control.
This product requires a Raspberry Pi (or similar single-board computer). Users can find Raspberry Pi and Nvidia single-board computers in our catalog.
Note:
- The GPS
L5signals are currently, considered as "pre-operational" and not utilized by default in navigation solutions. However, it is possible override the receiver's configuration to evaluate the GPSL5signals. Please refer to the integration manual for more details. - This is an operational limitation of the satellite/space segment and not an issue of the u-blox product.
- Users have the option to connect an external GNSS antenna to their GNSS receiver.
- The GNSS Flex module has an U.FL connector for external antenna.
- Users can find GNSS Antennas in our catalog.
- By default, Sparkfun use the Raspberry Pi's primary serial bus (i.e. TX:
GPIO14/Pin8; RX:GPIO15/Pin9) to communicate with the GNSS receiver on our SparkPNT GNSS Flex modules.
