PiCAN with GPS CAN-Bus Board for Raspberry Pi
Product Description
Product is discontinued.
Check out the replacement: PiCAN FD with GPS/GNSS ublox NEO-M8M for Raspberry Pi...
The PiCAN GPS board provides CAN-Bus and GPS capability for the Raspberry Pi. It uses the Microchip MCP2515 CAN Bus controller. The CAN Bus connections are accomplished via 4-way screw terminal plugs. The GPS is provided by a 66-channels MTK3339 chipset module. An onboard battery holder exists for a CR1225 cell. The backup power is for the real time clock and helps reduce startup times. The GPS module has a built-in patch antenna but an external active antenna can also be used via uFL connector.
Raspberry Pi 4 Compatibility
The PiCAN board is fully compatible with the new Raspberry Pi 4 Model B.

GPS Output Data Format
The GPS sensor provides data according to NMEA 0183 (as does any standard GPS sensor), and decoding the data is fairly easy to accomplish with the following information, the so-called NMEA output sentences, at hand.
