A look inside after 2 years

A project log for GNSS bluetooth module with u-blox NEO8N

Here I build a external GNSS module for mobile devices without or unsatisfactory navigation GNSS option.

The module served me very good during my hikes in the last two years but now it is time to build a new one (GNSS module 2.0 - GNSS via Bluetooth). Opening the case after the last, quite rainy holiday reviled a corroded but still functional PCB.

I will salvage parts apart from the blue tooth and GPS chip from this version. For the u-blox chip I am properly have to use a hot air station. I am afraid of ripping off some pads. 

If you are still interested in this kind of project please visit the project page of the new version: GNSS module 2.0 - GNSS via Bluetooth
