The Waveshare Multi-GNSS HAT is a compact module for Raspberry Pi that supports multiple global navigation satellite systems, including GPS, BDS, and QZSS, to provide reliable positioning data.
This HAT suits various applications like vehicle or asset tracking, where accurate location information is needed for projects in security systems, industrial PDAs, or GIS mapping, helping users achieve precise coordinates with minimal setup.
- Supports GPS, BDS, and QZSS for broader satellite coverage and faster positioning.
- Features low power consumption and intelligent modes like AlwaysLocate for extended battery life in mobile setups.
- Includes UART communication with adjustable baud rates and status LEDs for easy monitoring.
- Onboard battery holder preserves ephemeris for quick hot starts, reducing time to first fix.
- Compact design with dimensions of 65mm x 30.5mm, compatible with Raspberry Pi via GPIO connector.
Light specifications include a 5V/3.3V power supply and operating temperatures from -40°C to 85°C.
It fits well for developers and hobbyists integrating positioning into Raspberry Pi-based prototypes for IoT or robotics applications.
