Connecting a GPS shield to Arduino
Now that you have an idea of how to connect a GPS device through the I/O pins on Ardu-
ino, let's look at a different way to provide GPS information to Arduino, through a GPS
shield. There are several shields available, including one from Dexter Industries that is
available at many online retailers, such as
www.amazon.com
.
To connect to Arduino, simply push the shield on your Arduino device so that it looks like
the following image:
You can use the pin labels to match the pins on Arduino. Now, it is securely on top of your
Arduino device; let's look at how to access the device via the SW.
