Much requested ublox max-6q pinout / datasheet

Below is the much requested ublox max-6q (from CSGshop) pinout / datasheet.

The only pins that are required to use are GND, PWR, and TXD. all other pins can be ignored. This device works directly with the tinygps library for arduino.

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

Tracker Version 2.0 Hardware

Payload housing was made using the Ubiquiti Unifi WiFi AP (I thought it looked awesome and aerodynamic)


GPS Module U-Blox Max-6 (Made for high altitudes)

Micro SD card logger called the OpenLog (any serial data sent to this chip is automatically recorded to a .TXT file. Just output commas between values and change the extension to .CSV)

Micro Controller is the Arduino Nano ver. 3.0 (All the functions of the UNO including built in 5 volt  regulator and on board FTDI, and only 1/6 the size. Why would I ever go back to the UNO after finding this amazing board?)

Radio Transmitter is the HX1-144.390-10 (Low power Long distance output. Make sure you get the -10 version and not the -3. -3 will work but -10 is better and is the same price.

Extras!

Just found some stuff on my PC that I thought was interesting. Let the uploading commence!

Below: New payload design (Using the U-Blox Max-6 GPS Module, and a breakout board to make it 5volt compatible)

This is the U-blox Max-6Q GPS Module and eval board (available at http://www.csgshop.com)

This little guy (including the antenna it is about the size of a quarter) can reach altitudes of over 50 Miles above the Earth!
