Could you build this?

No This is custom physical hardware (a PCB expansion board with GNSS, RF routing, dual SMA connectors, and ESP32 integration) which cannot be created through AI software vibe-coding.

What it would actually take: Building this requires electronic schematic capture and PCB layout (in KiCad or Altium), managing RF trace impedance for GNSS and Wi-Fi SMA connectors, and ordering PCB manufacturing/SMT assembly. The physical design also requires embedded C/C++ firmware using ESP-IDF or Arduino to handle UART communication with the ATGM336H GPS module and GPIO multiplexing with the M5Stack Cardputer. Electrical engineering and RF hardware expertise are necessary.
