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

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
