Its worth noting at this point even if you are using one of Inventek&#8217;s active patch antennas you must still power pin1. I know I&#8217;m not the only person to make this mistake, Inventek recommend an inductor\/capacitor filter\/protection on this pin as well so I&#8217;ve included this in my design (note the surface mount inductor on breadboard!)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ava.upuaut.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/IMG_7149.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ava.upuaut.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/IMG_7149-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Completed Ava Breadboard\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Click for bigger!<\/p>\n<p>Onwards with the design of a PCB!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The one final issue with my design, the intermittent operation of the GPS has been fixed.
