Is it me or is this illustration wrong. The GPS should look like this:

When looking at this illustration GND for the GPS is at the bottom of the board and GND for the APM is at the top. The GPS should be upside down in this illustration.

Torin, If you refer on cable and wire colors of it. Yes there are difference on my earlier picture and this picture that you posted. But you can only put this connector one way. I just checked MTek adapter and and GND is on lowest pin of adapter when it is facing to you like in this your picture. Gray wire that goes to MTek is actually (EN)able wire.

I agree, the connector can only be put in one way. I just saw this and thought my GPS or APM had the connector on wrong, but it's fine. As long as people understand that the wires and the orientation of the boards as indicated in the illustration aren't correct, then cool.

I will correct this color wire issue and actually color of that single wire is red on 15cm cables.

Hi Jani,

It's not really the color that is the issue. It's that the illustration makes it look like APM ground goes to GPS Enable. I modified your illustration to, well, illustrate. Notice the twist in the wires

I had the colored wire in the wrong spot. Here is a revised illustration of what I mean. Please let me know if I am off my rocker here

What about the blue blinking led on the board? What does it mean?
