    Description

    Up for sale is a brand new Skylab SKM53 GPS module with UART NMEA code output.  These modules are inexpensive workhorses suitable for any microcontroller project.  The items comes with breakout board for standard 0.1" header and matching header pins.
    From the manufacturer:
    General Description
    The SkyNav SKM53 Series with embedded GPS
    antenna enables high performance navigation in the most
    stringent applications and solid fix even in harsh GPS
    visibility environments.
    It is based on the high performance features of the
    MediaTek 3339 single-chip architecture, Its  –165dBm
    tracking sensitivity extends positioning coverage into
    place like urban canyons and dense foliage environment
    where the GPS was not possible before.  The  6-pin
    UART  connector design  is  the easiest  and convenient
    solution  to be embedded  in a portable device and
    receiver  like  PND,  GPS  mouse, car holder, personal
    locator, speed camera detector and vehicle locator.
    Applications:
    LBS (Location Based Service)
    Vehicle navigation system
    PND (Portable Navigation Device)
    GPS mouse and Bluetooth GPS receiver
    Timing application
    Features:
    Ultra high sensitivity: -165dBm
    22 tracking/66 acquisition-channel receiver
    WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS/GAGAN support
    NMEA  protocols (default speed: 9600bps)
    Internal back-up battery
    One serial port
    Embedded patch antenna 18.2 x 18.2 x 4.0 mm
    Operating temperature range: -40 to 85℃
    RoHS compliant (Lead-free)
    Tiny form factor  :30mm x20mm x 8.5m
    More information on these units and code examples may be found online.
    Note:  Although a 'PPS' terminal is listed in this documentation, the modules in this listing have an 'NC' designation for this terminal.
    Note:  As per the data sheet, serial communication is LVTTL, which means sending data to it on a 5V signal could damage the item.  It has never happened to me in extensive testing, however, to be completely safe, I sell a separate voltage translator board for this purpose - see my other auctions.
    Please let me know if you have any questions about the items, and happy bidding!
