APM v2 and external GPS voltage

Posted by Alex on December 20, 2012 at 1:39am

Hi,

I would like to plug an external GPS on a APM v2.

I plan to disable the embedded Mediatek GPS and to plug a uBLOX MAX-6 breakout

(http://ava.upuaut.net/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_60&product_id=68)

I would like to know if voltage for the external GPS on APM v2 is 5v or 3.3v

I didn't see the info.

Thanks

I made a list of the pin outs here for the ublox lea-6 in this post (note the red wire is is power on pin #1)

Should be useful in connecting up your chosen GPS

Edit: made a silly mistake ;-)

@Alex,

The 3DR Ublox LEA-6 has an onboard 3.3v regulator so it would be safe to assume that the voltage supplied by the APM is 5vdc.
