It needs to be of sufficient wire gauge so it can carry current. Doesn’t matter what is on the other end as you’ll chop it off anyway. You probably have one laying around somewhere. We need:Ī USB cable with a USB “A” connector on one end.
This module was designed by a poster at named Hit_Factor who came up with a $42 DIY module.
In addition to that you need a $20 cable not included. Trouble is the “official” accessory for the SDS100 GPS module costs another $100 (with shipping) or so on top of the scanner which already costs about $700. Also if you have a GPS module then you don’t even have to know what zip code you are in. Heck I was impressed that you could just type in the zip code and pull in all the local services fit to scan.Īnd that’s all good unless you are MOVING because as you move on down the highway your zip code obviously changes. Ok, I’m more and more impressed with my new SDS100 scanner and just learned that it has GPS capability (with an added external module).
