The MultiNav FeatherWing is an add-on board for Adafruit Feather. It incorporates a U-Blox NEO-6M GPS module as well as an InvenSense MPU-9250 9 Degrees of Freedom (9DOF) sensor.
The board includes the following additional features:
Micro USB connector to connect to the U-Blox GPS. It is accessible using the free U-blox u-center application for configuration and monitoring.
u.FL connector for the GPS antenna (supports active antennas, 3.3V or 5V)
EEPROM for storing U-Blox configuration between power cycles
Power and GPS Pulse-per-second (PPS) LEDs
Interrupts broken out for GPS PPS and MPU-9250 interrupt pin
Compatibility
The MultiNav FeatherWing is compatible with Feather M0, 32U4, and HUZZAH. However, the MPU-9250 interrupt pin and GPS PPS interrupt are only accessible with Feather M0 as hardware interrupts.
This FeatherWing may be compatible with other official FeatherWing boards that only use the I2C bus. The MPU-9250 uses I2C with the fixed address 0x68. For FeatherWings that also use GPIO, check the pin usage on the schematic of both FeatherWings to determine compatibility.
For example, the OLED FeatherWing is compatible for simultaneous use with the MultiNav FeatherWing as long as the interrupt solder jumpers are left disconnected.
Adafruit has had paid day off for voting for our team for years, if you need help getting that going for your organization, let us know – we can share how and why we did this as well as the good results. Here are some resources for voting by mail, voting in person, and some NY resources for our NY based teams as well. If there are additional resources to add, please let us know – adafruit.com/vote
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
