Hardware Overview

How does it work?

NB IoT 2 Click is based on the BC66-NA, a high-performance NB-IoT module with extremely low power consumption from Quectel Wireless Solutions. It is designed to communicate with the infrastructures of mobile network operators through NB-IoT radio protocols (3GPP Rel.13 and 3GPP Rel.14). It supports a broad range of frequency bands such as B1/B2/B3/B4/B5/B8/B12/ B13/B17/B18/B19/B20/B25/B28/B66/B71/B85. It also provides several interfaces, UART and SPI, and protocol stacks such as UDP/TCP, MQTT, LwM2M, and others. These protocols allowing data and SMS transmission using NB technology make this module the perfect choice for building IoT applications such as smart gas and water meters, even without needing an external MCU unit. To turn ON this Click board™, the user has to press the onboard push-button labeled PWRKEY down for a period longer, at least 500ms, which represents the Ignition (Power-On) button. The PWRKEY button cannot be pulled down constantly; otherwise, the module cannot enter

power-save mode. This feature is shown by the yellow diode labeled as CONNECT to indicate the device's Operational Status. NB IoT 2 Click communicates with MCU using the UART interface as its default communication protocol with the option for the users to use another interface, such as SPI if they want to configure the module and write the library by themselves. It supports automatic baud rate detection, operates at 115200 bps by default configuration, and is used for data transmission and exchanging AT commands with the host MCU. In addition to these features, the BC66-NA uses two GPIO pins connected to the mikroBUS™ socket. The WUP pin routed on the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ represents the external interrupt pin used for waking up the device from a power-saving mode, while the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket can perform Hardware Reset function by putting this pin in a logic low state. This Click board™ also has a micro USB connector, allowing the module to be powered and configured by a personal computer.

Also, it has an additional header labeled ADC IN because the BC66-NA provides a 10-bit ADC input channel to read the voltage value.  The interface is available in Active mode and has to be woken up first to ensure availability in Sleep mode. NB IoT 2 Click possesses the SMA antenna connector with an impedance of 50Ω. This Click board™ can be used to connect the appropriate antenna that MIKROE offers. Besides the SMA connector, it has a SIM card slot that provides multiple connections and interface options. This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level and comes with a proper logic voltage level conversion performed by the appropriate voltage level translator TXB0106. The board must complete the proper logic voltage level conversion before use with MCUs with different logic levels. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

UNI-DS v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different STM32, Kinetis, TIVA, CEC, MSP, PIC, dsPIC, PIC32, and AVR MCUs regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over WiFi. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, UNI-DS v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access anywhere and under any

circumstances at any time. Each part of the UNI-DS v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector. Communication options such as USB-UART, USB

HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. UNI-DS v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output

After pressing the "FLASH" button on the left-side panel, it is necessary to open the UART terminal to display the achieved results. By clicking on the Tools icon in the right-hand panel, multiple different functions are displayed, among which is the UART Terminal. Click on the offered "UART Terminal" icon.

UART Application Output Step 1

Once the UART terminal is opened, the window takes on a new form. At the top of the tab are two buttons, one for adjusting the parameters of the UART terminal and the other for connecting the UART terminal. The tab's lower part is reserved for displaying the achieved results. Before connecting, the terminal has a Disconnected status, indicating that the terminal is not yet active. Before connecting, it is necessary to check the set parameters of the UART terminal. Click on the "OPTIONS" button.

UART Application Output Step 2

In the newly opened UART Terminal Options field, we check if the terminal settings are correct, such as the set port and the Baud rate of UART communication. If the data is not displayed properly, it is possible that the Baud rate value is not set correctly and needs to be adjusted to 115200. If all the parameters are set correctly, click on "CONFIGURE".

UART Application Output Step 3

The next step is to click on the "CONNECT" button, after which the terminal status changes from Disconnected to Connected in green, and the data is displayed in the Received data field.

UART Application Output Step 4
