GPS2 click

1. Introduction

GPS2 Click™ is an accessory board in
mikroBUS
form factor. It's a compact and
™
easy solution for adding GPS module to
your design. It features Quectel L30
module as well as SMA antenna connector.
GPS2 Click™ communicates with target
board microcontroller via mikroBUS
UART (Tx, Rx), I C (SCL, SDA), SPI (MISO,
2
MOSI, SCK, CS), PWM, INT, AN and RST
lines. The board is designed to use 3.3V
and 5V power supply. LED diode (GREEN)
indicates the presence of power supply.
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.

pins carefully.

3. Plugging the board in

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 of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all
