Have you ever seen the brand new ZED-X20P from u-blox? Effectively, we’ve a breakout for it, and it is now transport! We now have restricted portions till September, so get them whereas they’re scorching!
Hey, SparkFans! Welcome again to a different Friday Product Put up right here at SparkFun Electronics! This week we’re happy to let that we’ve begun transport the all new ZED-X20P Allband GNSS RTK Breakout! We had been in a position to safe sufficient models of the ZED-X20P to have some nonetheless out there after we shipped out pre-orders, so in the event you wished to select one up at present earlier than u-blox totally ramps up their manufacturing of the ZED-F9P alternative in September, now could be the proper time! Following that, we’ve a brand new 2×3-Pin ribbon cable that ought to assist in any IDC connections you’ve. Let’s take a better look!
The SparkFun Allband GNSS RTK Breakout – ZED-X20P (Qwiic) options the most recent GNSS engine from u-blox; the X20, which is a successor to their standard F9 engine. This board’s dimensions, pin structure, and connectors are similar to the SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout – ZED-F9P (Qwiic); and in most circumstances, can be utilized as a drop-in alternative. The board additionally accommodates customers with a various selection of interfaces together with USB, UART, SPI, and I2C.
The ZED-X20P module is an all-band, excessive precision GNSS receiver that concurrently processes alerts from the GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC constellations throughout all GNSS frequency bands, together with L-band. With positioning algorithms for Actual-time Kinematics (RTK), PPP-RTK, and Exact Level Positioning* (PPP) applied sciences, the module helps commonplace RTCM corrections for Digital Reference Stations (VRS) in a Community RTK setup or an area base station setup. Moreover, L-band correction providers are natively supported with out the necessity to combine an exterior receiver, such because the NEO-D9S.
With its very excessive replace fee, the ZED-X20P module is good for management purposes, guaranteeing clean and dependable operation. The module additionally protects system integrity with multi-layered defenses, together with a Root of Belief, jamming and spoofing detection, cryptographic authentication of navigation messages by Galileo OSNMA, and extra. This represents the best degree of integration in a single-chip receiver for the navigation and robotics markets; in unmanned autonomous autos (UAVs), steerage methods, and auto-steering purposes.
This 120mm IDC Ribbon Cable contains a 2mm pitch and a 2×3-pin configuration, making it a flexible and important part for varied digital purposes.
That is it for this week at SparkFun. As all the time, we will not wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or tell us on Instagram, Fb or LinkedIn. Please be secure on the market, be variety to 1 one other! Completely happy hacking!
