Nikkai Bluetooth GPS Teardown

Nikkai Bluetooth GPS Teardown

My first ever attempt at a teardown and understanding the components that make up a PCB. This is my years old Bluetooth GPS which I bought for various projects like openstreetmap, Zonetag and badgertrack.

I'd love to salvage these components for Arduino project re-use, although I'm fairly sure I'd destroy them in the process since they're surface-mounted and I have clumsy fingers.

The microprocessor at the top and lack of pretty much anything but resistors/capacitors demonstrates how software-based this level of electronics has become. Microprocessor development with modular devices and TTL gives me hope we're not going in the wrong direction.

View from a flight to Belfast, trying to get the overlay, alignment and depth-of-field right is quite hard. First attempt, though.
