Hi,
I recently purchased a 2nd hand uBlox LEA-6, and now I need to ensure it has the latest firmware.
I have a FTDI Breakout board (LINK) and a USB cable for it, but I don't have the FTDI GPS Adapter cable (LINK).
Does anybody have one they can trace out for me or take a photo of so I can make my own. I know they are only a few $$ on the store, but I would like to have it ASAP, and plus im in Australia, so postage would be crazy and it would take >2 weeks.
The connector on the GPS board is for the cable that connects to the side input of the APM2.5 and not the top input
Thanks
Nick

Since the GPS talks to the APM, and the APM talks to the PC, can't we just flash the GPS through the APM, ie PC => APM => GPS ?
This is how I did mine, read both the following posts. I wrote the first post to ask for advice, then didn't get it so I tried it anyway, and it worked out, so I wrote the second post in case anybody else wanted it.

Hope that helps
I'm looking on how to do the same thing, but I was hoping to plug the GPS into this: http://store.3drobotics.com/products/ftdi-cable-3-3v using the adapter cable: http://store.3drobotics.com/products/ftdi-gps-adapter-cable-15-cm
Would that work? Or do I need that breakout of yours??
Any takers?
