Raspberry PI 3 Adventures
Tests, impressions and comparisons to follow.
One of the first comparisons will be to see what framerates this hardware can achieve with the 5MP camera and the software 'motion'.

Raspbery Pi GPS
Adding GPS location data to a Raspberry PI project is fairly easy.
The most common way is to add a GPS module that outputs text data on a serial port.
Below is a GPS module purchased on eBay that includes a Neo-6 GPS module, a Raspberry Pi specific PCB and a GPS antenna (not seen in the photo).
As soon as this module is powered up it attempts to send data over the UART pins.
