MAX-M8C Parameters

Jonathan Russo (RIT Student) fill this out so we can answer any question on accuracy / power/ or far I can chuck a pumpkin

Part Name	Manufactuer	Cost Per Part ($)	Comments	Link	Voltage	Peak Current Draw	Comm Standards
NEO-M9N	Ublox	27.00	Newer iteration, higher data rate	https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/u-blox/NEO-M9N-00B/12149174	3.0V	100mA	USB, UART, SPI, I2C
MAX-M8W	Ublox	23.00	Low Power Consumption	https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/u-blox/MAX-M8W-0/6150637	3.0V	67mA	UART, DDC (I2C)
MAX-M8C	Ublox	21.00	Low Power Consumption	https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/u-blox/max-m8c-0/6150635	3.0V	67mA	UART, DDC (I2C)

M8W and M8C are functionally the same. M8W supply voltage ranges from 2.7V-3.6V whereas M8C ranges from 1.65V-3.6V. M8C in stock, M8W not in stock
