Deliveries!
Got a visit from the postman and Fedex this morning.
My order from Sparkfun for a Lassen IQ GPS module, antenna & mating header arrived, as well as the Kodak camera I bought on eBay (that was pretty quick).
The Lassen IQ header is seriously tiny - but once soldered onto the GPS shield, everything was working.
The camera doesn't have a memory card & I don't have the proprietary cable needed to download photos from the internal memory, so I'm still unsure of what the quality is like. I've never seen such a simplistic camera, this thing feels like a toy - it weighs less than the batteries which go inside it. It does seem to have a continuous video recording mode though, so using it for video may be a possibility.
- Tiny!
- GPS mounted on the Arduino
