GNSS 18 Click

GNSS 18 Click demo application is developed using the NECTO Studio, ensuring compatibility with mikroSDK's open-source libraries and tools. Designed for plug-and-play implementation and testing, the demo is fully compatible with all development, starter, and mikromedia boards featuring a mikroBUS™ socket.

• Date : Mar 2024.
• Type : UART type

Software Support

Example Description

This example demonstrates the use of GNSS 18 Click by reading and displaying the GNSS coordinates.

Example Libraries

• MikroSDK.Board
• MikroSDK.Log
• Click.GNSS18

Example Key Functions

• gnss18_cfg_setup Config Object Initialization function.

void gnss18_cfg_setup ( gnss18_cfg_t *cfg );

• gnss18_init Initialization function.

err_t gnss18_init ( gnss18_t *ctx, gnss18_cfg_t *cfg );

• gnss18_generic_read This function reads a desired number of data bytes from the module.

err_t gnss18_generic_read ( gnss18_t *ctx, uint8_t *data_out, uint8_t len );

• gnss18_reset_device This function resets the device by toggling the RST pin.

void gnss18_reset_device ( gnss18_t *ctx );

• gnss18_parse_gpgga This function parses the GPGGA data from the read response buffer.

err_t gnss18_parse_gpgga ( uint8_t *rsp_buf, uint8_t gpgga_element, uint8_t *element_data );

Application Init

Initializes the driver and resets the Click board.

void application_init ( void )
{
    log_cfg_t log_cfg;  /**< Logger config object. */
    gnss18_cfg_t gnss18_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.
    gnss18_cfg_setup( &gnss18_cfg );
    GNSS18_MAP_MIKROBUS( gnss18_cfg, MIKROBUS_1 );
    err_t init_flag = gnss18_init( &gnss18, &gnss18_cfg );
    if ( ( UART_ERROR == init_flag ) || ( I2C_MASTER_ERROR == init_flag ) )
    {
        log_error( &logger, " Communication init." );
        for ( ; ; );
    }
    
    log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}

Application Task

Reads the received data, parses the GPGGA info from it, and once it receives the position fix it will start displaying the coordinates on the USB UART.

void application_task ( void )
{
    if ( GNSS18_OK == gnss18_process( &gnss18 ) )
    {
        if ( PROCESS_BUFFER_SIZE == app_buf_len )
        {
            gnss18_parser_application( app_buf );
        }
    }
}

Application Output

This Click board can be interfaced and monitored in two ways:

• Application Output - Use the "Application Output" window in Debug mode for real-time data monitoring. Set it up properly by following this tutorial.
• UART Terminal - Monitor data via the UART Terminal using a USB to UART converter. For detailed instructions, check out this tutorial.

Additional Notes and Information

The complete application code and a ready-to-use project are available through the NECTO Studio Package Manager for direct installation in the NECTO Studio. The application code can also be found on the MIKROE GitHub account.
