The design is very simalar to the previous version, but I am now using the uBlox MAX-7 because of its lower power consumption. I have also shrunk the boards down a little.<br \/>\nThe funny arrangement at the top for the GPS antenna is an experiment to see how well chip antennas perform horizontally. So far I have only tested the board in its standard configuration and it all checks out okay! Test flight to follow soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-477\" src=\"http:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled-289x300.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"289\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled-289x300.jpg 289w, https:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled.jpg 843w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 289px) 100vw, 289px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-476\" src=\"http:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled-1-284x300.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled-1\" width=\"284\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled-1-284x300.jpg 284w, https:\/\/chris-stubbs.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Untitled-1-969x1024.jpg 969w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>On a side note I also put together a very crude ICSP jig using pogo pins and a clothes peg to avoid having to solder a header onto each board.
