PKS-GPS

GPS module with custome PCB and Case

I made becuse i need gps in my GPS to my project but i dont wanna put this in BIG Project there is not anntena becuse for now i dont need. I made this i track road and speed for that moment i no need code for it

there is visual in a case:

and closed

im not use screaw becuse its small ( 30mm ) and i use hot glue to close that

Parts

** Is base on uBLOK MAX-M10S gps mcu its cheap but very good **

** i give to it 2.54mm pin conector becuse i need something to connect i think its a little to big for this project but work , work **

** red diod what i have for free from my arduino **

** capacitors and resistors is smd yeah but in 805 case and i wanna teach how to sold smd becuse is harder then tht **

this connector for connector its cheap and good :)

Questions

How big is the PKS GPS PCB?

It measures 30.1 × 17.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the PKS GPS use?

14 parts, built around the MAX-M10S. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the PKS GPS KiCad files?

From the PriX-Y/PKS-GPS repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is GPS - KICAD/PKS-GPS.kicad_pcb and its schematic GPS - KICAD/PKS-GPS.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the PKS GPS design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask PriX-Y before reusing the design.
