- On-board Ultra low noise 3.3V voltage regulator and RF filter for noise blocking
- Uart (Tx,Rx), and I2C interface
- HELICAL antenna

- Battery for HOT module start

I think We will add test result next 3-4 days.
Comments
The right question is "Is this working at all"?
I tried everything possible with the module, and the maximum amount of sats I managed to get was 5-6, and it was constantly dropping down to 4 and below.
The only good thing about the module is the look and size, as for performance... it looks like a total failure.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone running the module with better results?
I wonder if the antenna works upside down. Have you got any test result?
How many pcs you need? About module you can write me email.
Will it also be possible to buy only the ublox module. I would like to integrate it on my flightcontroller.
The modules are hard to get.
All orders shipped from Europa
Board pinout
Hi GSCShop,
where is your shop/company located at?
The "About us" page does not show any information.
Where are you shipping from?
Thank you.
I will add pinout today there and to item description in the shop.
Hi there,
I am still looking for the pinout for the Helix version.
Unfortunately, I get no response to my emails to CSGShop.
It should not be a problem to put the pin assignment available.
regards Peter
Looking forward for testresults
