SparkFun Single Board Computers 15136 Editorial Review

The SparkFun GPS-RTK2 Board - ZED-F9P (Qwiic) High-Precision Breakout is a high-precision, easy-to-use GPS module designed for use in building RTK GPS Base Stations. The module contains a rechargeable backup battery that allows for a warm-start, decreasing time-to-first-fix. Configuration of the module is simple and straightforward, and the UBX product, software, and support are excellent. SFE's support is also top-notch. The only issue reported was with the 10-pin header and I2C lines, which were severed when one user desoldered the header pins while adapting the module to a new prototype PCB. The copper plating lifted off, disconnecting the trace to the other three access points, so no I2C was available. The user found those pads a little delicate and suggested they be moved inboard. However, after some delicate soldering, they were able to use it without issue. Overall, this module is highly recommended for those looking for a high-precision, easy-to-use GPS module for building RTK GPS Base Stations.
