GPS Module
GPS Modulex-tech

The GPS Module is a compact PCB that brings precise positioning to a robot. It plugs into the Universal Logic Board’s GPS header and is part of the OpenMower ecosystem — the RTK-GPS positioning is what lets an OpenMower follow planned paths instead of wandering at random.

Highlights

  • Modular — designed as an Arduino-shield-style module for the OpenMower / xBot universal mainboard.
  • RTK-ready — provides the precise GPS positioning the robot relies on for navigation.
  • Fully open — complete KiCad 9 schematic and PCB layout.
  • Easy to manufacture — pre-generated production files (Gerbers, BOM, pick-and-place, interactive BOM) drop straight into JLCPCB for board fabrication and assembly.
  • Reproducible builds — release files are regenerated with KiBot via Docker, so anyone can rebuild the exact production set.
