Ublox neo 6m to I2C

Post by Phexom »

Hello everybody, i have purchased a Ublox neo 6m GPS and an I2C , the problem is that i d'ont know how to connect them toghether, the GPS has 2 diferents outputs, 1 with two cables that fit in the i2c slot, and the ohter onne with four cables but it doesn't fit inside, How i need to do it?

Gps: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ublox-NEO-6M-GP ... Swv0tVI1~u

the 4 cables: GPS RX+TX and VCC+GND
the 2 cables: I2c compass

the gps on that device is most likely wired as an uart (serial) gps. In this case you will need additional arduino which connects to the GPS over serial and back to you flight controller over I2C: https://github.com/estechnical/i2c-gps- ... S_NAV_v2_2

What FC do you use? If you are using an RTFQ blacked mag unit you can just plug the four wire one into your serial port and the two wire one directly into the I2C with no adapter since this FC is designed for units like your GPS module. It come's with no onboard mag. Also there are some units (I think the Crius AIO mega) where you can cut the traces of your onboard mag and run it the same way as the RTFQ boards.
