mikroElektronika Click User manual

1. Introduction
GPS Click is an accessory board in mikroBus™
form factor. It’s a compact solution for
adding GPS functionality to your device. It
features LEA-6S, high performance u-blox 6
positioning engine. Board can be interfaced
with a microcontroller through UART or I2C
connection, or data can be acquired using PC
application through USB connection. Board
features connector compatible with active
and passive antennas. It can operate on
3.3V power supply only.
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board all the way
into the socket.

4. Features and applications
GPS Click board with it’s LEA-6S module
features acquisition down to 1s, –147dBm
coldstart sensitivity and 5Hz update rate.
You can achive low power consumption
due to intelligent, user congurable power
management. Mentioned features make
this board ideal for asset tracking, road
navigation devices, public transportation
vehicle information systems and more.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
Turn the board upside down, so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in the
both soldering pad locations.

6. Power supply - 3.3V only
Board is designed to use
3.3V power supply only. If
you need to add GPS feature
to your 5V prototype or
development board, we recommend you
to use other boards such as the SmartGPS
Accessory Board:
