Hi Chris,

I purchased a MAX-6Q from CSGShop and got it working yesterday. Pin assignment viewing the board from the GPS module side is as follows:

1. SCL      2. SDA
3. TXD     4. RXD
5.GND     6. PWR (5V)

Here graphically:

For the backup battery I am using a 364 size 1.55V watch battery.

I asked CSG that. They responded:
Battery type lithium coin cell CR1225 for backup.

I have the GPS working with u-center via a FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 cable and am now ready to connect it to my TWOG. The MAX-6 GPS doesn't have flash memory to store its configuration settings so I think I will need to use the gps_ubx_ucenter module to configure it at start-up.

Works just fine with that. I'm using this module right now.
Newer flew it, bit after a few minutes it even gets a fix indoors.

Cheers
Jeremy

Tilman,

Where did you get a copy of the data sheet? I'm trying to solder up
the connections for the MAX-6Q from CSGShop and I noticed there is no
data sheet on his webpage nor any text on the PCB board.

Best,
Chris

Hi,

I was quite impressed with the UBLOX MAX-6Q module when I found it and
bought one from http://www.csgshop.com/product.php?id_product=62
I especially liked the nice wire terminals that I can easily solder.

I also have the familiar UBLOX LEA-5H helical antenna module (sparkfun).
Naively I expected that the MAX-6 will be better. But is that actually true? Does anyone here have some experience? Or is there something that makes LEA
somehow better for our application?

I will just hook up the MAX-6 and I'm pretty sure it will fly. But if there is a good reason why I should not do that, I thought I better ask before I
do it. :)

Thanks
Tilman
