The ZED-X20P Breakout is Now Shipping!
Have you seen the new ZED-X20P from u-blox? Well, we have a breakout for it, and it's now shipping! We have limited quantities until September, so get them while they're hot!
Hello, SparkFans! Welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics! This week we are pleased to let you know that we have begun shipping the all new ZED-X20P Allband GNSS RTK Breakout! We were able to secure enough units of the ZED-X20P to have some still available after we shipped out pre-orders, so if you wanted to pick one up today before u-blox fully ramps up their production of the ZED-F9P replacement in September, now would be the perfect time! Following that, we have a new 2x3-Pin ribbon cable that should help in any IDC connections you have. Let's take a closer look!

The SparkFun Allband GNSS RTK Breakout - ZED-X20P (Qwiic) features the latest GNSS engine from u-blox; the X20, which is a successor to their popular F9 engine. This board's dimensions, pin layout, and connectors are very similar to the SparkFun GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout - ZED-F9P (Qwiic); and in most circumstances, can be used as a drop-in replacement. The board also accommodates users with a diverse choice of interfaces including USB, UART, SPI, and I2C.
The ZED-X20P module is an all-band, high precision GNSS receiver that concurrently processes signals from the GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS, and NavIC constellations across all GNSS frequency bands, including L-band. With positioning algorithms for Real-time Kinematics (RTK), PPP-RTK, and Precise Point Positioning* (PPP) technologies, the module supports standard RTCM corrections for Virtual Reference Stations (VRS) in a Network RTK setup or a local base station setup. Additionally, L-band correction services are natively supported without the need to integrate an external receiver, such as the NEO-D9S.
With its very high update rate, the ZED-X20P module is ideal for control applications, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. The module also protects system integrity with multi-layered defenses, including a Root of Trust, jamming and spoofing detection, cryptographic authentication of navigation messages through Galileo OSNMA, and more. This represents the highest level of integration in a single-chip receiver for the navigation and robotics markets; in unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs), guidance systems, and auto-steering applications.
This 120mm IDC Ribbon Cable features a 2mm pitch and a 2x3-pin configuration, making it a versatile and essential component for various electronic applications.
That's it for this week at SparkFun. As always, we can't wait to see what you make! Shoot us a tweet @sparkfun, or let us know on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn. Please be safe out there, be kind to one another! Happy hacking!
