Product Specification Sheet (In pdf Format)

The SATPAK-104PLUS is an advanced version of the popular SATPAK-104. The "PLUS" provides an inexpensive method to interface a GPS receiver to the PC/104 bus. The "PLUS" can be configured to mate with either a Trimble SK2/SK8 (Lassen), Trimble ACEII/ACEIII, Navman Jupiter, Canadian Marconi SuperstarII, Motorola M12,  or Motorola GT/UT Oncore. A version of the "PLUS" is being developed to accomodate the Navman dead-reckoning version of the Jupiter.  The combination of the SATPAK-104PLUS with the selected GPS receiver occupies only one PC/104 stack position. The TTL communication signals of the selected GPS receiver are transmitted and received over the PC/104 bus using a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART). The "PLUS" can be selected for COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4 base addresses via a simple push-on jumper. Custom addresses can be supported. The associated PC/104 bus interrupt can be selected from IRQ3-IRQ7, IRQ10-IRQ12, IRQ14, or IRQ15. A keep-alive voltage is generated by using a large value capacitor (1 Farad) to maintain the almanac, ephemeris, and real-time clock of the GPS receiver. A right angle 10-pin connector allows RS-232 or RS-422 communication to accommodate RTCM-104 differential GPS (DGPS) corrections or secondary communication with some models of GPS (Trimble) receivers. The same connector also provides access to the 1PPS time pulse generated by the GPS receiver.


Single quantity development kit prices shown below include SATPAK-104PLUS integrated and tested with desired GPS module, magnetic mount antenna with 4 meter cable, development software toolkit for selected GPS module, and design reference manual in electronic format for the selected GPS receiver.  The development kit is a total GPS solution for the PC/104 bus using the GPS receiver selected.
