RTK ZED-F9P-15B Model

Is it possible to order dev kit with this specific GNSS model the ZED-F9P-15B. This version supports L5 which I’m hoping to test if it is better in urban canyon enough to justify switching to this module, as tracking in cities is important to my application.

There are 2 prefixes, ZED and NEO…the 15B is for the NEO model, which we sell here SparkFun GNSS-RTK L1/L5 Breakout - NEO-F9P (Qwiic) - GPS-23288 - SparkFun Electronics

If you were asking if you could substitute a NEO into this kit…unless it was an order for a bunch of them it’d be a ‘no’ (it’s out of stock right now anyway).

We do make custom kits for a sufficient minimum buy

ZED-F9P does have a 15B variant, but it trades L2 for L5.

ZED-F9P-15B GNSS Bands : B1I, B2a, E1B/C, E5a, L1C/A, L1OF, L5
Other 3 ZED variant Bands. : B1I, B2I, E1B/C, E5b, L1C/A, L1OF, L2C, L2OF

If you want both L2 and L5, I believe you have these (2) options at SparkFun currently:

Just checking if there is an update to this? Did Sparkfun ever start selling their boards with the ZED-F9P-15B chip?

I don’t think so, but they are going to get the ZED-X20P out in the near/immediate future, that will cover the GPS L1, L2 and L5 Bands

There might be some third-party clones using the ZED-F9P-15B.

I’d suppose the benefits vs additional support headaches of having too many part choices just didn’t make sense. The lack of GLONASS and Moving-Base, and L5 GPS not fully certified/operational.

As @TS-Russell points out the NEO-F9P-15B model is available. SparkFun GNSS-RTK L1/L5 Breakout - NEO-F9P (Qwiic) - SparkFun Electronics
