Arduino Beetle with ultimate gps?

Hi everyone

I'm looking for an Arduino Beetle and ultimate gps or other gps setup for a falconry transmitter project. I want to keep the setup as small, light weight, and functional as possible.

I'm new to all this and hardware is the first step. The other piece of hardware would be something to protect it from from weather and light impact without adding much bulk or weight.

Where do you want people to reply ?

In this thread or the other one with the question about GPSs with Beetles ?

Normally best to keep questions and answers on a particular subject in one place, less confusing.

I've never heard of an Arduino Beetle? Please provide a link on the Arduino website that gives the data/pinout etc.

I think @talonsgrip may be talking about the Beetle Board from DFRobot:

Are you sure? What evidence have you that he is not using an off brand clone? Why are they not asking DFRobot for support? Rather than Arduino, a totally different company with nothing to do with the product they have bought?

Looks like it is an Arduino compatable.

Yes, that is the board. Apparently, DFROBOT makes it.

Depending on how much you want to spend on your own homebrew setup and your own electronics skills, there may be some mileage in looking at the AdaFruit feather boards.

Weighs 5.5g

Weighs just under 9g

That's around $60. I've not used either module so can't comment on their suitability.
