ER-332 Version 1.3.1 Pin Assignment Name Description Type Ground VBAT Backup Battery Input 3.8V~5.5V DC Power Input Input PBRES Push Button Reset Input (Active Low) Input GPIO1 (Reserved) Serial Data Output A (GPS Data) Output Serial Data Input A (Command)
ER-332 Version 1.3.1 * PBRES (Push button reset): This pin provides an active-low reset input to the engine board. It causes the engine board to reset and start searching for satellites. * SELECT: Do not connect (do not use) * TXA: This is the main transmits channel for outputting navigation and measurement data to user’s navigation software or user written software.

Set Serial Port ID:100 Set PORTA parameters and protocol This command message is used to set the protocol (SiRF Binary, NMEA, or USER1) and/or the communication parameters (baud, data bits, stop bits, parity). Generally, this command is utilize to switch the GPS module back to SiRF Binary protocol mode, where an extensive message commands are readily available.
