 Unlike the Falcom FSA03 these units are just supplied as a standalone surface mount chip without an antenna. To use it you will need to use a breakout board/design your own board.
-There are Eagle breakout boards designed by Upu with assistance from Darkside available on Github :
-NEO-6 :\\
+If you want to integrate the units into your own design both modules and antennas are in [[https://www.dropbox.com/s/qytveix714ocw11/Ava.lbr|Ava.lbr]].

-uBlox_NEO-6Q_Breakout.brd - Board with Sarantel Antenna\\
-uBlox_NEO-6Q_Breakout.sch \\
-The board is designed to be use with the passive Sarantel quadrifilar helix antenna ([[http://www.spkecl.com/style/frame/templates8/product_detail.asp?lang=2&customer_id=617&name_id=18379&content_set=color_5&rid=19996&id=82626|Sarantel SR-1202]]). The chip does support active antennas but does not supply power to them.

-max6_breakout_lc.brd - As above but with 5v t0 3.3v Level Convertor on board.\\
