how to connext u-blox max-10m with antinna and test it with SparkFun_u-blox_GNSS_Arduino_Library

[hoka83]

does this library support U-BLOX MAX-10M please?

Hi @hoka83 ,

For the MAX-M10, you will need to use v3 of the library. Please see this issue - the same is true for the MAX-M10.

Best wishes,
Paul

but your mentioned issue is asking about MIA-M10 not MAX -M10, are these the same chips? @PaulZC

[PaulZC]

"the same is true for the MAX-M10" - the MAX and MIA use the same interface protocol.

okay thanks to you Engineer Paul

Hello, How to active antenna supply by turnning on/off by the LNA_EN signal using the library?

[hoka83]

Does also ublox MAX-M10 have an embedded antenna or i have to connect it with external antenna?

Hi @hoka83 ,

Only the u-blox SAM and CAM modules have a built-in antenna. For the MAX-M10, you will need to add an external antenna.

For an active antenna, you need to add extra components. Please see the schematic for any of the SparkFun GNSS boards:

To use the LNA_EN pin, you need a more complex circuit. Please see the Integration Manual for more details:
