Communications interfaces in Raspberry pi 3

[alfre]

Hello everyone!

I want to connect my RaspPi 3 with a GPS (NEO-6M) and a GPRS (SIM800L) module. I have looked the datasheets of them and i founded that the GPS module supports UART, SPI and DDC (I2C compilant), and the GPRS module supports I2C. Where can i find what communications supports the Raspi 3's GPIO in order to look if i can connect it with these modules?



Sorry for my poor english.

Thanks!

A PI supports all of them, UART, SPI (with two chip-selects selects) and I2C.

A couple of things to note:

If you've bought a module on a board from the likes of eBay not all interfaces may be exposed. I've some neo-6m modules that only has the uart interface module on the chip exposed on the board.

The I2C interface on the Pi may not be compatible with the GPS as the Ublox uses clock stretching which at least some (and possibly all) the pi models have issues with that.

Lastly you've not said what this is for, depending on your project there may be some boards available that do some of what you want.

Thanks for the replies!

I want to do a GPS tracker for an university project, i thought to use this modules with the Pi 3:

GPS:

GPRS:

It's true that i am only looking the modules' datasheets and i need to look what interfaces implements the boards. Any idea where to look this?

Hi,all

There is a cheap but powerful Lora/GPS HAT for your projects,you can get the example about "Getting GPS to work on a Raspberry Pi" from this link: http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title ... spberry_Pi



You can also get the solution about 'how to get the GPS started with the RPi 3 ' there.
Hope it help to the people who need it!

Cheers!

Hello, I'm also interested in this topic as i have sim800L and raspberry pi readily available.
I want to use a raspberry pi to send text message to my phone, of information from a sensor that is also connected to the pi.

Thanks in advance
