Hello,

I am trying to use the “UBLOX MAX-M10” with an active antenna . How do i configure the “UBLOX MAX-M10” to work with an active antenna? I couldn’t find any command or documentation about this problem, so i hope someone can help me out.

and if anyone know about " SparkFun_u-blox_GNSS_Arduino_Library" , how to use it to test the “UBLOX MAX-M10” with the active antenna to get positions.

Thanks!

Looking at the schematic (https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/f/3/f/b … ic_v10.pdf) it looks like there is power provided to the antenna connector for an active antenna thru R14 and FB2

In other words, you can’t use the sparkfun MAX-M10S breakout board? You have to just use a M10S module and create your own circuit?

The SparkFun GPS-18037 board powers the antenna all the time, via VCC_RF, it’s not gated via the LNA_EN pin
