Think Dualband GNSS is Expensive? Think Again.
The new DAN-F10N Dualband GNSS Breakout is now available!
Hello everyone and welcome back to another Friday Product Post here at SparkFun Electronics. We only have a few things to show off this week but our top product is important because it makes Dualband GNSS much more accessible! Our new DAN-F10N GNSS Breakout clocks in at only $59.95 and provides you with reliable reception of L1 and L5 reception bands! In today's economical landscape, this should allow more people who could be interested in GNSS access to a technology that is often hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Following that, we have a new potentiometer knob. Hey... it's an important component! Alright, enough joking around. Let's take a closer look at this week's new products!
$59.95
The SparkFun DAN-F10N Dualband GNSS Breakout is built around the powerful u-blox F10 engine, offering simultaneous reception of L1 and L5 frequency bands. This board leverages u-blox's advanced multipath mitigation technology to isolate the strongest signals, delivering reliable, meter-level position accuracy even in dense urban canyons. To ensure signal integrity, the module incorporates a robust SAW-LNA-SAW RF front end with an additional notch filter (LTE B13), providing excellent rejection of interference from nearby cellular modems.
This breakout features a compact, integrated 20mm x 20mm x 8mm Right-Hand Circular Polarized (RHCP) dual-band patch antenna, offering a great balance of size and performance. Its wide beamwidth allows for flexible device orientation. For even greater utility, an onboard switch will enable you to easily connect an external dual-band antenna.
This 25mm aluminum potentiometer knob slides onto the potentiometer and features a key lock to ensure a secure fit. The main body of this knob is metal with a plastic insert. The outside is knurled for precise adjustment.
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!
