Revision 2 has been designed! After some very helpful feedback from Michael, who is an expert in u-blox implementation, and has been made a co-contributor to this project!
Modifications made to this Revision include:
- Fixed unconnected grounds around the RF traces
- Added connection of reset GPS pin to be controlled by an attached Feather
- Board can now be powered by USB! Note that the Feather can power the GPS board, but the GPS board can NOT power the Feather
Design Files have been uploaded to the project page.
Included below are some images of the design for Rev 2

Avery W, sorry about the "e-mail" message, that was automaticly :), i am a support :)
Well, i contacted the local u-blox representative and talk about your M9N Hackaday project. I talked them that project is awesome pcb but still need more revision. The local u-blox representaive has contact directly to u-blox and they could do a THIRD revision for you! What do you think ? I will need the schematics and gerbers.

That's pretty cool! I would be happy to let them do a third revision for me, if they so wish. Do keep in mind that I am not interested in investing money into this project at this time. I am a college student with very limited disposable income.
You can find the KiCad design files and gerbers are on the main project page here on Hackaday. If those don't work, just let me know and I can send them to you directly.

Nice! No cost! Just to help to help the students, hobbiest, professionals to have pcb to make tests! That will help me too my blog about. Please, send me the gerbers and the schematic, ok ? Directly to that e-mail

We can think in the THIRD revision. Can you send a e-mail to suporte@smartcore.com.br to me to explain to you ?
Thanks

I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand what you’re saying. You would like me to send an email to you so that you can explain something about a third revision? If you could elaborate a bit more on what you mean, that would be great. You can also message me directly here on Hackaday
