Overview
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.
“Uno” means one in Italian and is named to mark the upcoming release of Arduino 1.0. The Uno and version 1.0 will be the reference versions of Arduino, moving forward. The Uno is the latest in a series of USB Arduino boards, and the reference model for the Arduino platform; for a comparison with previous versions, see the index of Arduino boards.

New improved GPS Module with built-in antenna and memory back-up for OEM and hobbyists projects. This unit features low power consumption, high sensitivity. The unit is ideal for navigation systems, distance measurements, vehicle monitoring and recording, boating direction and location, together with hiking and cross country exploring.This module includes high precision surface mount technology to provide both high accuracy and very compact size. The module can be easily installed on a main board, with all inputs using standard TTL signal levels. A series of standard NMEA format messages are provided to give position, satellite information, time, etc. The module can be easily connected directly to a microcontroller to display and record this information.Develop your own GPS navigation system or connect to a pocket pc for a low cost navigation system. Use in the car or boat for trip recording and distance to destination information. The possibilities are endless with this easy to use GPS module.
