 **WARNING : uBLOX 6 Chips are rated at 3.3v so you can't just plug this into an 5V Arduino board or a PC serial connection as these run at 5V.**
-You can purchase a seperate level convertor from [[http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8745|Sparkfun]] or use a breakout with the integral level convertor available from [[http://ava.upuaut.net/store|HAB Supplies]].

 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.
