Product Details
Meet the SparkFun GPS-RTK Dead Reckoning Breakout - ZED-F9R , your go-to GPS module for precision navigation in tough environments. This cutting-edge GPS receiver fuses sensor data with GNSS signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, delivering an impressive 0.01-meter accuracy when paired with an RTK correction source. The ZED-F9R combines u-blox's Automotive Dead Reckoning (ADR) technology with a 3D IMU sensor, wheel tick data, vehicle dynamics models, and GNSS corrections to provide a continuous, reliable positioning solution—even in dense urban landscapes or areas with limited signal access.
The 184-channel u-blox F9 engine enables this module to operate with four GNSS systems at once, keeping you connected and precise in real-time at rates up to 30Hz. Whether you're navigating tunnels, parking garages, or urban canyons, this module guarantees you won't get lost.
Perfect for autonomous robotics, the ZED-F9R features a built-in Qwiic connector , meaning no soldering is required to hook it up to your system. However, the board also includes 0.1"-spaced pins for breadboard compatibility, offering ultimate flexibility. Want even more control? The module is fully configurable using u-center software or SparkFun's Arduino library , allowing you to tweak baud rates, update rates, geofencing, spoof detection, and more.
A cold start takes ~24 seconds, but thanks to the onboard rechargeable battery , you can enjoy hot starts in just ~2 seconds. The SparkFun ZED-F9R is a top-tier choice for anyone who demands precision and performance.
