What you need is an add on prototyping Pi Plate from Adafruit, which can snap onto the Pi PCB (and is removable later if you wish) and gives you all sorts of prototyping goodness to make building on top of the Pi super easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This kit is best used for the Raspberry Pi Model A or Model B.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can use it with any \"2x20 GPIO type\" Pi (A+, B+, Zero, Pi 2, Pi 3) but only the 'top 26 pins' will be broken out for use\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdafruit added lots of basic but essential goodies. First up, there's a big prototyping area, half of which is 'breadboard' style and half of which is 'perfboard' style so you can wire up DIP chips, sensors, and the like. Along the edges of the proto area, all the GPIO\/I2C\/SPI and power pins are broken out to 0.1\" stips so you can easily connect to them. On the edges of the prototyping area, (almost all of) the breakout pins are also connected to labeled 3.5mm screw-terminal blocks. This makes it easy to semi-permanently wire in sensors, LEDs, etc. There's also a 4-block terminal block broken out to 0.1\" pads for general non-GPIO wiring. Finally, we had a little space remaining over the metal connectors so we put in an SOIC surface mount chip breakout area, for those chips that dont come in DIP format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis kit comes as a set of parts, a little soldering is required to put it together but its really easy, even a beginner can do it in 15-20 minutes or so.\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Pi (and our kits) are meant to help us all learn skills, soldering is fun! \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-prototyping-pi-plate\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCheck out the tutorial for how to assemble\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nice thing about this plate is we're getting custom header breakouts that are taller than usual, so that the proto plate sits \u003cem\u003eabove\u003c\/em\u003e the metal connectors, out of the way and allows for plenty of workspace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information, including some usage ideas \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-prototyping-pi-plate\" target=\"_blank\"\u003echeck out the Proto Pi Plate tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The terminal blocks included with your product may be blue or black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-prototyping-pi-plate\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEagleCAD PCB files, Fritzing object and more in the tutorial!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe up your Pi projects on a Prototyping Pi Plate, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-prototyping-pi-plate\/solder-it\" target=\"_blank\"\u003einstructions!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":247543180,"sku":"ADA801","price":13.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/801-08_5587760e-8e87-41c4-8241-f270dd945609.jpg?v=1675181087"},{"product_id":"adafruit-12-bit-adc","title":"ADS1015 12-Bit ADC - 4 Channel with Programmable Gain Amplifier","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor microcontrollers without an analog-to-digital converter or when you want a higher-precision ADC, the ADS1015 provides 12-bit precision at 3300 samples\/second over I2C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chip can be configured as 4 single-ended input channels or two differential channels.

For the amplification, it has the Maxim MAX4466, an op-amp specifically designed for this delicate task!

The output will have a DC bias of VCC\/2 so when its perfectly quiet, the voltage will be a steady VCC\/2 volts (it is DC coupled). If the audio equipment you're using requires AC coupled audio, place a 100uF capacitor between the output pin and the input of your device.

If you want to have an LED on all the time, we also provide the FIX signal out on a pin so you can put an external LED on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo features that really stand out about version 3 MTK3339-based module are the external antenna functionality and the built-in data-logging capability. The module has a standard ceramic patch antenna that gives it -165 dBm sensitivity, but when you want to have a bigger antenna, you can snap on any 3V active GPS antenna via the uFL connector. The module will automatically detect the active antenna and switch over! Most GPS antennas use SMA connectors \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-sma-to-ufl-u-fl-ipx-ipex-rf-adapter-cable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eso you may want to pick up one of our uFL to SMA adapters.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other cool feature of the new MTK3339-based module (which Adafruit have tested with great success) is the built-in datalogging ability. Since there is a microcontroller inside the module, with some empty FLASH memory, the newest firmware now allows sending commands to do internal logging to that FLASH. The only thing is that you do need to have a microcontroller send the \"Start Logging\" command. However, after that message is sent, the microcontroller can go to sleep and does not need to wake up to talk to the GPS anymore to reduce power consumption. The time, date, longitude, latitude, and height are logged every 15 seconds and only when there is a fix. The internal FLASH can store about 16 hours of data, it will automatically append data so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing data if power is lost. It is not possible to change what is logged and how often, as it's hardcoded into the module but Adafruit found that this arrangement covers many of the most common GPS datalogging requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with one fully assembled and tested module, a piece of header you can solder to it for breadboarding, and a CR1220 coin cell holder. \u003cstrong\u003eA CR1220 coin cell is not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdafruit have a nice fancy library for GPS usage, with background parsing, and can set and query the built-in GPS logging capability (called LOCUS). \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-ultimate-gps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eA full tutorial is also available, which has tons of information about the module, how to use the data logger, example code for both CircuitPython \u0026amp; Arduino, and more\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs of Sept 2021, the original \"Ultimate GPS\" module we used was discontinued by the vendor.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cdtop-tech.com\/products\/pa1616s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAdafruit found and are using a nearly identical version of the module with the same functionality.\u003c\/a\u003e The commands for querying the antenna have changed slightly so existing projects may need to update their firmware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatellites: 22 tracking, 66 searching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatch Antenna Size: 15mm x 15mm x 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate rate: 1 to 10 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Accuracy: \u0026lt; 3 meters (all GPS technology has about 3m accuracy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelocity Accuracy: 0.1 meters\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm\/cold start: 34 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcquisition sensitivity: -145 dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking sensitivity: -165 dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Velocity: 515m\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVin range: 3.0-5.5VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMTK3339 Operating current: 25mA tracking, 20 mA current draw during navigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: NMEA 0183, 9600 baud default, 3V logic level out, 5V-safe input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDGPS\/WAAS\/EGNOS supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFCC E911 compliance and AGPS support (Offline mode : EPO valid up to 14 days )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 210 PRN channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJammer detection and reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-path detection and compensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevision History:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs of 8\/10\/2014\u003c\/strong\u003e Adafruit are shipping with firmware v. 5632 which improves altitude calculations and stability.

Solder wires to the input port and provide 5VDC to the +5V and ground pins, then connect the DIN pin to your microcontroller. If you're using the NeoPixel Arduino library, use digital #6. You'll also need to make a common ground from the 5V power supply to the microcontroller\/Arduino. Since each LED can draw as much as 60mA (thats up to 3.5 Amps per panel if all LEDs are on bright white!) we suggest a 5V 2A power supply.
