ICE Tube Clock GPS Mod - PMB-688

Post by Andyx »

I just picked up a PMB-688 GPS module that I am going to test with this clock.

The PMS-688 costs about the same as the PMB-248, has close to the same specs as the EM-406a, plus it has a RF MMCX connector for an external antenna. This may allow the clock to time sync further from a window.

The EM-406a draws fewer mAs, but the PMS-688 and it's 65mA may be just small enough to slide under the 200mA fuse in the ICE kit.

Adafruit may consider using the PMB-688 as a replacement for the PMB-248 that is out of stock.
