The module has a standard ceramic patch antenna that gives it -165 dB sensitivity, but when you want to have a bigger antenna, you can snap on any 3V active GPS antenna via the uFL connector. The module will automatically detect the active antenna and switch over! Most GPS antennas use SMA connectors so you may want to pick up one of our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sma-to-ufl-u-fl-ipx-ipex-rf-adapter-cable\"\u003euFL to SMA adapters\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other cool feature of the new MTK3333-based module (which we have tested with great success) is the built-in data-logging ability. Since there is a microcontroller inside the module, with some empty FLASH memory, the newest firmware now allows sending commands to do internal logging to that FLASH. The only thing is that you do need to have the Flora mainboard send the \"Start Logging\" command. However, after that message is sent, Flora can go to sleep and does not need to wake up to talk to the GPS anymore to reduce power consumption. The time, date, longitude, latitude, and height are logged every 15 seconds and only when there is a fix. The internal FLASH can store about 16 hours of data, it will automatically append data so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing data if power is lost. It is not possible to change what is logged and how often, as it's hardcoded into the module but we found that this arrangement covers many of the most common GPS datalogging requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with one fully assembled and tested module.

This fully assembled and tested board comes with a 20-20KHz electret microphone soldered on. For the amplification, we use the Maxim MAX4466, an op-amp specifically designed for this delicate task! The amplifier has excellent power supply noise rejection, so this amplifier sounds really good and isn't nearly as noisy or scratchy as other mic amp breakouts we've tried!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis breakout is best used for projects such as voice changers, audio recording\/sampling, and audio-reactive projects that use FFT. On the back, we include a small trimmer pot to adjust the gain. You can set the gain from 25x to 125x. That's down to be about 200mVpp (for normal speaking volume about 6\" away) which is good for attaching to something that expects 'line level' input without clipping, or up to about 1Vpp, ideal for reading from a microcontroller ADC. The output is rail-to-rail so if the sounds get loud, the output can go up to 5Vpp!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing it is simple: connect GND to ground, VCC to 2.4-5VDC. For the best performance, use the \"quietest\" supply available (on an Arduino, this would be the 3.3V supply). The audio waveform will come out of the OUT pin. The output will have a DC bias of VCC\/2 so when it's perfectly quiet, the voltage will be a steady VCC\/2 volt (it is DC coupled). If the audio equipment you're using requires AC-coupled audio, place a 100uF capacitor between the output pin and the input of your device. If you're connecting to an audio amplifier that has differential inputs or includes decoupling capacitors, the 100uF cap is not required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output pin is not designed to drive speakers or anything but the smallest in-ear headphones - you'll need an audio amplifier (\u003ca href=\"\/products\/adafruit-stereo-3-7w-class-d-audio-amplifier-max98306\"\u003esuch as our 3.7W stereo amp\u003c\/a\u003e) if you want to connect the amp directly to speakers.

They are simple to use and low cost. This sensor is a Interlink model 408 FSR with a massive 1\/4-inch x 24-inch sensing region. You can press anywhere along the strip and the pressure will be recognized.

These sensors are fairly low cost, and easy to use but they're rarely accurate. They also vary some from sensor to sensor perhaps 10%. So basically when you use FSRs you should only expect to get ranges of response.
