2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board, make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 GNSS click 2 3 4. Essential features GNSS click shares the same form factor of Quectels L80 module which (used on GPS3 click ) and the same set of technologies: automatic prediction of orbits from data stored in internal flash (EASY technology) and adaptive adjusting of on/off time to balance between positioning accuracy and power Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure consumption (AlwaysLocate technology). the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are The module can also automatically switch Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the between the internal patch antenna and appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. external active antenna, keeping track of 1. Introduction positioning during the switching process. GNSS click carries Quectels L86 GNSS module with a patch antenna along with an 3. Plugging the board in external antenna connector. GNSS stands click for global navigation satellite system, a Once you have soldered the headers your term which encompasses both the United board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARD States GPS and the Russian GLONASS mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the www.mikroe.com global positioning systems. The board cut in the lower-right part of the board with communicates with the target MCU through the markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS UART (TX, RX), CS (used here for mikroBUS socket. If all the GNSS click manual ver 1.00 FON), and RST pins. The board uses a 3.3V pins are aligned correctly, power supply only.
