[Paparazzi-devel] New Antaris 4 GPS module

[David Carr]

Hi all,

I want to let the group know that I've found a Taiwanese source of 
Antaris 4 based gps modules that are significantly less expensive that 
those made by u-blox.  They're probably not suited for individual orders 
because there are over $75 in transaction fees (wire transfer fees, 
minimums, shipping) but if I purchase 25 or so they will enable me to 
offer a very competitive price for pre-assembled Tiny 2.11 boards.

However, there is a catch.  The new module uses a slightly different 
footprint than the LEA-4P (its smaller) and so the PCB needs to be 
modified very slightly.  Unfortunately, I do not have access to Protel 
and therefore cannot make this modification myself.  Will one of the 
ENAC guys step up to the plate to make this simple change and help us 
out?  If so, I think I can offer the new GPS modules to the list for 
about $50 each.  I can provide all the necessary documentation to make 
the change.  The modification will consist of drawing a new footprint 
and re-routing a few GPS traces.

Thanks,
David Carr
