Connecting Ublox GPS to Multiwii SE board
Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2013 8:43 am
Hello guys,
i bought this board:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280919886379?ss ... 1497.l2648
This GPS:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1PC-Ublox-NE ... OU:US:3160
and this TTL->I2C converter:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/380693260075?ss ... 1497.l2648
This is a 43$ combo with RTH - so its pretty cool !
So i can see that the GPS outputs TTL, and the board has a TTL input, so why use the converter to I2C and then connect to the board's I2C port?
is it possible to connect the GPS directly to the TTL input of the MWii SE board?
If not, can you please advise why?
Also, the Ublox Neo-6M has an I2C port, so why not re-wire it and use that directly to the MWii SE board?
thanks.
