Digispark with GPS module

[mteguh]

Hi,


I'm interested in purchasing a digispark board (small version or Arduino?).
Just wondering if it will be compatible with a gps module (e.g http://www.adafruit.com/products/99)


Trying to experiment with something like this (http://www.cooking-hacks.com/index.php/documentation/tutorials/arduino-3g-gprs-gsm-gps)


Thanks,

You'll need to use softwareserial to talk to it because the Digispark doesn't have a hardware UART.


I'm not sure what a 3G card/shield might need, but you'll want to check that against the Digispark specs as well.


I have a GPS module on the way to play with, I imagine it would work - but I won't claim any offical out of the box compatibility with anything I haven't tested

Thanks @digistump, could you send me a link to the GPS module that you mentioned?

This is what I have coming:

But it will take some hacking, soldering, and an external antenna to work.

Gotcha. Thanks!

Did you get the digispark work with GPS module  ??

Yep works great with softserial library and a serial GPS module

Hmmm. I've got an old bluetooth GPS unit (no display, it just sends data as a bluetooth serial device) sitting around collecting dust. I might have to see if I can whip up something with that...
