Help Connecting Ublox NEO-M8N to 3DR Pixhawk

OTHER DROTEK PRODUCTS GPS
#1

Hello,

I just received my Ublox NEO-M8N GPS + HMC5983 compass, fast shipping from Europe to Canada. As I prepare to assemble my quad I realize the connectors on the Drotek Ublox NEO-M8N are JST and the connectors on the 3DR Pixhawk are DF13. I was under the impression that the cables supplied with the GPS were supposed to work but upon further reading works only with your version of the Pixhawk.

I searched your site and could not find a cable which would work, eg JST/DF13 4/6 cable. Can you recommend a solution?

Many thanks

Ramiro

You have to order a DF13 cable on GLB for exemple.
We have received several Pixhawk cables and we will create an announce on our shop.

Jerome,

If I’m connecting the Ublox NEO-M8N GPS + HMC5983 to my 3DR Pixhawk, do I bridge the 3.3V pads on the selection pads?
Also, how do I order the DF13-JST cables?
Many thanks

-> yes the 3.3V pads as the Dropix
Also, how do I order the DF13-JST cables?
-> if you order on our shop we can put it on the package

I have already ordered and received this Ublox NEO-M8N GPS + HMC5983 compass, I was wondering how I am to order the two DF13-JST cables as I need them to have a functioning quad.
