GNSS 11 Click is a compact add-on board that provides fast positioning capability. This board features the EVA-M8M, a concurrent GNSS module from u-blox. The module provides a reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS, and BeiDou. It delivers high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times, with concurrent reception of up to three GNSS, achieved by a dual-frequency RF front-end architecture. This Click board™ makes the perfect solution for the development of both acquisition and tracking devices and represents an ideal product for automotive, consumer, and industrial tracking applications.

We provide a library for the GNSS 11 Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for GNSS 11 Click driver.
gnss11_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void gnss11_cfg_setup ( gnss11_cfg_t *cfg );
gnss11_init
Initialization function.
err_t gnss11_init ( gnss11_t *ctx, gnss11_cfg_t *cfg );
gnss11_reset_device
This function resets the device by toggling the RST and ANT_ON pins.
void gnss11_reset_device ( gnss11_t *ctx );
gnss11_generic_read
This function reads a desired number of data bytes by using UART serial interface.
err_t gnss11_generic_read ( gnss11_t *ctx, uint8_t *data_out, uint16_t len );
gnss11_parse_gga
This function parses the GGA data from the read response buffer.
err_t gnss11_parse_gga ( uint8_t *rsp_buf, uint8_t gga_element, uint8_t *element_data );
This example demonstrates the use of GNSS 11 click by reading and displaying the GNSS coordinates.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver and resets the click board.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
gnss11_cfg_t gnss11_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.
*/
LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );
log_init( &logger, &log_cfg );
log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );
// Click initialization.
gnss11_cfg_setup( &gnss11_cfg );
GNSS11_MAP_MIKROBUS( gnss11_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
if ( GNSS11_OK != gnss11_init( &gnss11, &gnss11_cfg ) )
{
log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
for ( ; ; );
}
gnss11_reset_device ( &gnss11 );
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Reads the received data, parses the NMEA GGA info from it, and once it receives the position fix it will start displaying the coordinates on the USB UART.
void application_task ( void )
{
gnss11_process( &gnss11 );
if ( app_buf_len > ( sizeof ( GNSS11_RSP_GGA ) + GNSS11_GGA_ELEMENT_SIZE ) )
{
gnss11_parser_application( app_buf );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
Other Mikroe Libraries used in the example:
- MikroSDK.Board
- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.GNSS11
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
