There is a 'body diode' in the pass FET so if the load has a voltage on it that is higher than the input voltage, current will flow back to the input.

You'll need to solder the joystick into the PCB using a soldering iron and solder, but its very simple and will only take a minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL DETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/2-axis-joystick-breakout-board-with-mounting-holes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eEagleCAD PCB files on GitHub\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/adafruit\/Fritzing-Library\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFritzing object in Adafruit Fritzing library\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5\" wide x 1.5\" long x 1.25\" tall (when assembled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 12 grams ( 0.4oz )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e Usable with any voltage up to 5V, 2 analog outputs. 1 milliamp draw when used with 5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1304311356,"sku":"ADA512","price":5.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/1025\/products\/512-04.jpg?v=1576145785"},{"product_id":"adafruit-12-bit-dac-w-i2c-interface","title":"MCP4725 Breakout Board - 12-Bit DAC with I2C Interface - STEMMA QT \/ qwiic","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour microcontroller probably has an ADC (analog -\u0026gt; digital converter) but does it have a DAC (digital -\u0026gt; analog converter)???

It can do up to 10 location updates a second for high speed, high sensitivity logging, or tracking. Power usage is incredibly low, only 20 mA during navigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest of all, Adafruit added all the extra goodies you could ever want: an ultra-low dropout 3.3V regulator so you can power it with 3.3-5VDC in, 5V level safe inputs, ENABLE pin so you can turn off the module using any microcontroller pin or switch, a footprint for optional CR1220 coin cell to keep the RTC running and allow warm starts and a tiny bright red LED. The LED blinks at about 1Hz while it's searching for satellites and blinks once every 15 seconds when a fix is found to conserve power. If you want to have an LED on all the time, we also provide the FIX signal out on a pin so you can put an external LED on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo features that really stand out about version 3 MTK3339-based module are the external antenna functionality and the built-in data-logging capability. The module has a standard ceramic patch antenna that gives it -165 dBm sensitivity, but when you want to have a bigger antenna, you can snap on any 3V active GPS antenna via the uFL connector. The module will automatically detect the active antenna and switch over! Most GPS antennas use SMA connectors \u003ca href=\"\/en-eu\/products\/adafruit-sma-to-ufl-u-fl-ipx-ipex-rf-adapter-cable\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eso you may want to pick up one of our uFL to SMA adapters.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other cool feature of the new MTK3339-based module (which Adafruit have tested with great success) is the built-in datalogging ability. Since there is a microcontroller inside the module, with some empty FLASH memory, the newest firmware now allows sending commands to do internal logging to that FLASH. The only thing is that you do need to have a microcontroller send the \"Start Logging\" command. However, after that message is sent, the microcontroller can go to sleep and does not need to wake up to talk to the GPS anymore to reduce power consumption. The time, date, longitude, latitude, and height are logged every 15 seconds and only when there is a fix. The internal FLASH can store about 16 hours of data, it will automatically append data so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing data if power is lost. It is not possible to change what is logged and how often, as it's hardcoded into the module but Adafruit found that this arrangement covers many of the most common GPS datalogging requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with one fully assembled and tested module, a piece of header you can solder to it for breadboarding, and a CR1220 coin cell holder. \u003cstrong\u003eA CR1220 coin cell is not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdafruit have a nice fancy library for GPS usage, with background parsing, and can set and query the built-in GPS logging capability (called LOCUS). \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-ultimate-gps\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eA full tutorial is also available, which has tons of information about the module, how to use the data logger, example code for both CircuitPython \u0026amp; Arduino, and more\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs of Sept 2021, the original \"Ultimate GPS\" module we used was discontinued by the vendor.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cdtop-tech.com\/products\/pa1616s\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAdafruit found and are using a nearly identical version of the module with the same functionality.\u003c\/a\u003e The commands for querying the antenna have changed slightly so existing projects may need to update their firmware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatellites: 22 tracking, 66 searching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatch Antenna Size: 15mm x 15mm x 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate rate: 1 to 10 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition Accuracy: \u0026lt; 3 meters (all GPS technology has about 3m accuracy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVelocity Accuracy: 0.1 meters\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarm\/cold start: 34 seconds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcquisition sensitivity: -145 dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracking sensitivity: -165 dBm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum Velocity: 515m\/s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVin range: 3.0-5.5VDC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMTK3339 Operating current: 25mA tracking, 20 mA current draw during navigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput: NMEA 0183, 9600 baud default, 3V logic level out, 5V-safe input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDGPS\/WAAS\/EGNOS supported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFCC E911 compliance and AGPS support (Offline mode : EPO valid up to 14 days )\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 210 PRN channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJammer detection and reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-path detection and compensation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRevision History:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs of 8\/10\/2014\u003c\/strong\u003e Adafruit are shipping with firmware v. 5632 which improves altitude calculations and stability.

Optionally you can pick up a uFL or SMA edge-mount connector and attach an external duck.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-rfm69hcw-and-rfm96-rfm95-rfm98-lora-packet-padio-breakouts\"\u003eCheck out Adafruit's fine tutorial for wiring diagrams, example code, and more!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 29mm x 25mm x 4mm \/ 1.14\" x 1.0\" x 0.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 3.1g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/learn.adafruit.com\/adafruit-rfm69hcw-and-rfm96-rfm95-rfm98-lora-packet-padio-breakouts\/downloads\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDatasheet, EagleCAD PCB files, schematic, and Fritzing available in the product tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Adafruit","offers":[{"title":"868 or 915 MHz","offer_id":17955409540,"sku":"ADA3072","price":16.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"433 MHz","offer_id":17955409604,"sku":"ADA3073","price":16.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0389\/1025\/files\/3072-07.jpg?v=1715697594"}],"url":"https:\/\/wholesale.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/collections\/breakouts.oembed","provider":"Pimoroni Wholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
