Re: [Paparazzi-devel] UBLOX MAX-6Q and LEA-5H GPS Modules comparison

[Jeremy Reinertsen]

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)

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

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.

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
