[time-nuts] Hobbyist and prototyping boards with U-blox ZED-F9P

[John Sloan]

Folks:

I’ve been doing a lot of SW work using the U-blox ZED-F9P chip over the past few months. Being a SW guy, I try to minimize the amount of breadboarding and HW integration I have to do.

For several months most of my work has been using the SimpleRTK2B board from Ardusimple in Barcelona Spain: US$193 plus shipping.

However, recently I noticed that SparkFun just up the road from me in Boulder Colorado has a GPS-RTK2 board with a F9P: $220 plus shipping.

The GPS-RTK2 is little more than the SimpleRTK2B, with different additional capabilities. Since ultimately all I needed was the USB connection for my SW hosted on a Raspberry Pi, the SparkFun board worked with my SW with zero changes or drama.
