SparkFun Artemis Global Tracker

SparkFun Artemis Global Tracker incorporates the Artemis Module, Iridium 9603N Short Burst Data modem, u-blox ZOE-M8Q GNSS receiver, and a TE MS8607 PHT sensor. This board is a compact tracker that sends and receives short data messages. The device leverages the Iridium satellite network, and works anywhere in the world, including the polar regions. The AGT naturally includes a Qwiic connector to easily attach external I²C sensors.
