We've been planning a school project with my young daughter and we came up with the usage of the SUP500F GPS module directly connected to an XBee device, along with a few other sensors.
However, after trying to get an SUP500F, I've found out it's long been discontinued due to inaccuracies. I haven't been able to find a direct replacement yet; or, something I think would directly interface with an Xbee.
Would anyone have recommendations for a GPS sensor that can directly interface with the serial interface of an XBee device?
The project is designed to be ultra low-power. By utilizing the XBee sleep function, we'll power down the GPS and sensors between the long 5 minute intervals (so the plan is for). Therefore, the plan is to connect the GPS directly to the Xbee for serial data, and not utilize an Arduino nor an RPi.
* Digi XBee3 Cellular LTE-M/NB-IoT w/LTE SIM Card
* Microchip MCP1826S-3302E/AB (3.3V, TO-92 style, ~1µA) VREG (shown as 78XX in diagram)
* SUP500F GPS Sensor (that needs to be replaced)
As you can see, the concept is to directly connect the GPS sensor to the Xbee.
Thanks in advance!
