Description
The NEO-M8N GNSS Breakout was designed as a shield solution to provide an almost native integration with ESP32devKitC microcontroller board. Nonetheless, it allows an easy integration with most microcontroller interfaces present at market, using UART and I2C interfaces. Microcontrollers working at more than 3.3V require a level shifter board in order to prevent this breakout board of being damaged. The BLC breakout board can be powered with a single cell LiPo battery and charged trough the on-board micro-B USB connector.
