Details

WitMotion WTGPS+BD is a compact GNSS module for Arduino, robotics, and flight-control builds using TTL serial data output.








Plug-and-play Type‑C plus an IPX connector supports either the onboard antenna option or an external active antenna.


Pin labels are provided for quick wiring: VCC (3.3–5V), RXD, TXD, and GND on the TTL serial header.

Choose the external antenna kit when you need wider placement flexibility for stronger reception.

The ceramic antenna option keeps the build highly integrated for space-constrained enclosures.

An optional WTGPS‑M variant provides RS485 with MODBUS output for industrial-style communication runs.

A sealed aluminum housing and shielded cable are designed for harsher environments and more stable signal transmission.
