There has been lots of discussion about this on time-nuts with no clear consensus.<br />Fred WA7AIIAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606013174631385088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663197147714037001.post-53567155916323892182015-10-17T10:21:38.549-07:002015-10-17T10:21:38.549-07:00Dan -

The LEA-6T is still cheaper, but of course we are now relying on the surplus market for those, as the 7 and 8 series are the current models. I'll try to get my hands on an M8T to test the board with both possibilities.Dan Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460460939501143627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663197147714037001.post-72991061368232910012015-10-15T12:05:26.304-07:002015-10-15T12:05:26.304-07:00I went to the u-blox North American on-line store,...I went to the u-blox North American on-line store, to check current pricing.<br />Once you hit quantities of 10 or more, the pricing drops significantly<br /><br />LEA-8MT module - Qty and Pricing each. <br />1 - 9 pcs $ 199.00 <br />10 - 49 pcs $ 92.46 <br />50 - 99 pcs $ 78.60 <br />100 - 249 pcs $ 62.91 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803529349943588489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663197147714037001.post-37488304787265316132015-10-15T11:53:15.570-07:002015-10-15T11:53:15.570-07:00What I did not realize, until earlier this week, i...What I did not realize, until earlier this week, is that u-blox made 3 different versions of the LEA-6T module.<br />--<br />Timing and Raw data features are available in three Module versions, the LEA-6T-0, LEA-6T-1 and LEA-6T-2.

The Tria board (minus the GPS module) actually has a similar bill of materials cost to the Denuo, despite the far more powerful microcontroller. The GPS module is what makes or breaks the final cost. Which is why I decided to develop both.Dan Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17460460939501143627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663197147714037001.post-62947001179384802372015-10-14T18:57:26.677-07:002015-10-14T18:57:26.677-07:00Dan -

When you complete the "tweaking" of this Denuo GPS board, <br />I would be interested in one board - bare, partial, or complete (don't have a REF-0 yet). I may have access to a uBlox LEA-6T -- but I think the LEA footprint is different than the NEO size.<br />Very familiar with the standoff issue (GPS board) from the TAPR TAC-2 board build (now 20 years ago).<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06803529349943588489noreply@blogger.com
