Guys are you ready for a new Raspberry Pi Pico W project where we will build the Ultimate GPS tracker? I hope so! In todays video we will go over how to connect the Adafruit Ultimate GPS version 3 to the Raspberry Pi Pico W. By the end of the lesson, we will be reading NMEA sentences from the GPS into the Raspberry Pi Pico. We will watch as the GPS gradually gets a fix, as it finds more satellites in the sky.!
We are actually pursuing building a GPS Tracker, and this is the gear we will be using in this class:
Soldering Iron:
amzn.to/3HpZolw
Solder Practice Components:
amzn.to/4mNaEca
Extra Solder:
amzn.to/4kuuDdE
Safety Glasses:
amzn.to/4mwGMjR
Raspberry Pi Pico W:
amzn.to/3FA4tqS
Adafruit Ultimate GPS:
amzn.to/4jeRIjj
External Antenna (OPTIONAL):
amzn.to/4myFWTL
Button Battery For Quicker Fix:
