Poor Man's GPS
Posted: Mon Jul 03, 2006 10:48 am
Here is my half ass gps unit. It uses the same board as mentioned in the headless wardriver thread. (Thanks KIF)
I had some problems with the serial port dropping power so I spliced in another connector to tap into some USB power.
It works great and for only $28 I can't complain.
