Description

SparkFun GPS Breakout - Chip Antenna, SAM-M8Q (Qwiic)The SparkFun SAM M8Q GPS Breakout is a high quality, GPS board with equally impressive configuration options. The SAM M8Q is a 72 channel GNSS receiver, meaning it can receive signals from the GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo constellations. This increases precision and decreases lock time and thanks to the onboard rechargable battery, you'll have backup power enabling the GPS to get a hot lock within seconds! Additionally, this u blox receiver supports I 2

The SparkFun SAM-M8Q GPS Breakout is a high quality, GPS board with equally impressive configuration options. The SAM-M8Q is a 72-channel GNSS receiver, meaning it can receive signals from the GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo constellations. This increases precision and decreases lock time and thanks to the onboard rechargable battery, you'll have backup power enabling the GPS to get a hot lock within seconds! Additionally, this u-blox receiver supports I 2 C (u-blox calls this Display Data Channel) which made it perfect for the Qwiic compatibility so we don't have to use up our precious UART ports. Utilizing our handy Qwiic system, no soldering is required to connect it to the rest of your system. However, we still have broken out 0.1"-spaced pins in case you prefer to use a breadboard.

&feature=emb_title

U-blox based GPS products are configurable using the popular, but dense, windows program called u-center. Plenty of different functions can be configured on the SAM-M8Q: baud rates, update rates, geofencing, spoofing detection, external interrupts, SBAS/D-GPS, etc. All of this can be done within the SparkFun Arduino Library!

The SparkFun SAM-M8Q GPS Breakout is also equipped with an on-board rechargeable battery that provides power to the RTC on the SAM-M8Q. This reduces the time-to-first fix from a cold start (~30s) to a hot start (~1s). The battery will maintain RTC and GNSS orbit data without being connected to power for plenty of time.

Clean crisp and easy to put on.
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 01 - Natural White (No Comforter)
Great price point for a 100% cotton duvet. Washes and dries well and the white is clean and crisp. I love the zipper closure and the corner ties. Very easy to put on.

Hotel-Quality Bedding Without the Price Tag
Size: Queen (90" X 90"), Color: 01 - Natural White (No Comforter)
I recently refreshed my second bedroom and needed new bedding, and this duvet cover came recommended by a friend who’s an interior designer for hotels—so my expectations were high. It absolutely delivered. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable, and it instantly gave the room that clean, neutral, fresh look I was going for. It truly looks high-end and elevated, but without the high-end price, which was a huge win. I’ve already shared the link with friends and family because it’s just that good. If you’re looking to upgrade your space without breaking the bank, this is a no-brainer. Highly recommend!

Love it!
Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 01 - Coconut White (No Comforter), Size: King (104" X 90"), Color: 01 - Coconut White (No Comforter)
Coconut White Waffle Duvet Cover & Matching Pillowcase Set – 5 Stars I am obsessed with this duvet cover set. The waffle texture adds the perfect amount of dimension and warmth while still keeping everything neutral and clean-looking. The coconut white color is beautiful in person and works perfectly with earthy, cozy decor. It feels soft, high quality, and gives the bed such an elevated, relaxed look. The matching pillowcases tie everything together perfectly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Effortless Luxury — The Perfect Duvet Cover I’m absolutely in love with this duvet cover — the material, the color, the texture… everything feels so thoughtfully made. It instantly transforms the look and feel of the whole bedroom, adding softness, warmth, and quiet elegance. The fabric is buttery-soft yet durable, with that ideal balance of coziness and refinement. The texture adds just the right amount of depth — not too smooth, not too textured — giving it a beautiful, timeless feel. The color is calming and versatile, pairing effortlessly with any sheets or pillows. It drapes perfectly over my 120x120 insert (inside a 104x98 cover), creating that full, cloud-like look I love. As someone who grew up in Europe surrounded by quality bedding and fabrics, I can truly say this brings me back to that sense of comfort and craftsmanship — but with a modern, refined twist. Paired with my duvet insert and pillows from the same brand, it’s the definition of cozy, breathable, and beautifully made. Pure comfort, every single night. 🤍
