GPS (PRESQUE) GRATUIT pour équiper les BALLONS-SONDES

Les radiosondes M10 fournissent un excellent GPS (TRIMBLE 65530-00 Copernicus II) qui peut être reconditionné pour servir dans nos projets de ballon-sondes lâchés par des radio amateurs.
La première étape consiste à chasser ce type de radiosonde, ce qui n'est pas toujours évident.
Une fois la RS M10 récupérée, commence un travail de précision qui consiste à conditionner le circuit
pour l'utiliser en GPS presque "gratuit".
En principe, la M10 devrait finir sa vie dans une poubelle alors ce serait dommage de ne pas profiter de cette
merveille technologique.
La carte sera laissée telle qu'elle, elle sera débarrassée  du support de piles et de la languette des capteurs.
Nous ne jetterons pas ces deux éléments qui seront eux aussi examinés ultérieurement.
Avant de faire une description complète des opérations, de la méthode et du matériel nécessaire, ainsi que
des résultats, je vous présente quelques photos de la deuxième étape :

!!! attendre les explications et conseils avant de vous lancer !!! 

Les broches sont décalées pour faciliter le soudage. Elles seront remises en place à la fin.

Carte munie d'un bornier à picots, pour brancher un câble de longueur adaptée vers la carte microcontrôleur. Voir si la sortie nécessite une adaptation avec un MAX3232. (3,3 V to 5 V RS232).

Les essais restent à faire, à bientôt pour les résultats, commentaires, questions bienvenues sur le blog
ou mon adresse mail (ci-dessous),
