UBLOX GPS LEA-6 V1.1

Posted by Iman on December 17, 2012 at 7:55am

Hi guys

Recently I have purchased a UBLOX LEA-6 GPS and plugged to my APM 2.5, but I can not get any signal on my MissionPlanner. I was double checking the connection and noticed the cable which came with GPS has wrong polarity (if I'm not wrong). The GND has red wire instead of black, and 5V port is black. There is a tiny red LED at the back of the board. Is it correct?

Thanks for any help

@Iman,

Chances are that the connector on the LEA-6 is not making good contact with the pads on the printed wiring board. I had an intermittent power problem and had to reflow the connector pins on the printed wiring board which cured the problem.

Just a thought.
