GPS-RTK-SMA ZED-F9P Breakout

SparkFun breakouts integrate a ZED-F9P GNSS module onto a development-friendly board with SMA connectors and Qwiic support

Image of SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout ZED-F9P with Qwiic and SMA ConnectorsThe SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA breakout integrates a powerful GNSS module from u-blox onto a development-friendly board with SMA connectors and Qwiic support, offering real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning down to centimeter-level accuracy. It supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou with dual-frequency reception (L1/L2) for improved resistance to multipath interference and faster convergence.

Unlike the U.FL version, this breakout uses SMA antenna connectors for improved RF robustness, making it suitable for field deployments, research, robotics, and surveying where ruggedized connections are preferred. With support for both I²C (via Qwiic) and UART/SPI interfaces, plus USB-C for configuration through u-center or GNSS data access, the board can function as a rover or base station depending on the application.

Features
  • u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS module with RTK support
  • Concurrent multi-constellation tracking: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou
  • Dual-band reception: L1/L2
  • Real-time kinematic (RTK) and precise point positioning (PPP) capability
  • SMA connectors for GNSS and optional L-band antennas
 
  • Qwiic-enabled I²C connector for easy sensor integration
  • USB-C port for u-center configuration and direct GNSS access
  • Breakouts for UART, I²C, SPI, and control pins (PPS, INT, SAFEBOOT, RESET)
  • Configurable for rover or base station functionality
  • 3.3 V power logic and low-power operation for embedded systems
Applications
  • Robotics and drone navigation
  • Survey-grade positioning systems
  • Agriculture automation and mapping
  • Autonomous vehicles and machine control
 
  • Scientific field instrumentation
  • GNSS research and timing synchronization
  • RTK base station infrastructure
