Hardware Overview

How does it work?

LTE IoT 3 Click is based on the EXS82-W, a Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) Wireless IoT module that allows connections to the LTE CAT-M1, CAT NB1/2, and 2G networks from Thales. EXS82 IoT module supports all LTE bands and offers an efficient architecture with PSM and eDRX plus embedded processing. The EXS82 also includes a module services engine that supports Internet services and optimized operations. State-of-the-art security features protect the device and data and provide secure enrollment in cloud platforms, enabling trust in the IoT ecosystem. The module’s simplified power supply design and advanced management system extend the battery lifetime and improve the total cost of ownership. The integrated GNSS receiver supports the NMEA protocol via the ASC0 interface, representing combined electrical and data specifications for communication between various electronic devices, including GNSS receivers. By default, the GNSS receiver is switched off. It has to be switched on and configured using AT commands. This Click board™ is equipped with a USB type C connector. It allows the module to be powered and configured by a personal computer

(PC) using FT230X, a compact USB to a basic serial UART interface device which has been designed to operate efficiently with USB host controllers by using as little bandwidth as possible when compared to the total USB bandwidth available. The UART interface operates at 115200 bps and exchanges AT commands with the host, data transfer, and firmware updates. It also possesses the RX/TX LED Indicator, which indicates whether the bridge is in the RX or TX function. LTE IoT 3 Click can be battery-powered and used as a stand-alone device. It also has MC34671, a fully integrated Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery charger that allows charging of the battery when Click board™ is inserted in a mikroBUS™ socket or plugged into a USB port, while the CHG LED indicator, which will indicate the charging in progress and will turn off once the battery charging is finished. The Nano SIM card holder on the back of the Click board™ is used to install a nano-SIM card. Two SMA antenna connectors with an impedance of 50Ω are used for connecting the appropriate antennas. There is one SMA connector for the LTE antenna and the second one for the GNSS antenna on which active

antennas can be used, either supplied with 3V or 5V, which can be selected by the appropriate jumper (J2 or J3). The yellow LED labeled STAT is used to indicate different operating modes of the module visually. Another indicator that this Click board™ has is the PWI LED indicator that reports the module’s power state and shows whether it is active or in Power-Down mode. The onboard pushbutton labeled ON is routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™, representing the ignition button. This Click Board™ uses the UART communication interface, but it also allows the user to use other interfaces, such as SPI and I2C if he wants to configure the module as SPI or I2C Master and write the library by himself. That can be achieved by populating the appropriate jumpers on the back of the board (J4 – J9), depending on the desired communication. This Click board™ can be interfaced with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs because appropriate voltage level shifters perform a proper logic voltage level conversion while the onboard LDOs ensure that recommended voltage levels power the module.

Features overview

Development board

UNI Clicker is a compact development board designed as a complete solution that brings the flexibility of add-on Click boards™ to your favorite microcontroller, making it a perfect starter kit for implementing your ideas. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different ARM, PIC32, dsPIC, PIC, and AVR from various vendors like Microchip, ST, NXP, and TI (regardless of their number of pins), four mikroBUS™ sockets for Click board™ connectivity, a USB connector, LED indicators, buttons, a debugger/programmer connector, and two 26-pin headers for interfacing with external electronics. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, it allows you to build

gadgets with unique functionalities and features quickly. Each part of the UNI Clicker development kit contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. In addition to the possibility of choosing the UNI Clicker programming method, using a third-party programmer or CODEGRIP/mikroProg connected to onboard JTAG/SWD header, the UNI Clicker board also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development kit. It provides two ways of board-powering; through the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector, where onboard voltage regulators provide the appropriate voltage levels to each component on the board, or using a Li-Po/Li

Ion battery via an onboard battery connector. All communication methods that mikroBUS™ itself supports are on this board (plus USB HOST/DEVICE), including the well-established mikroBUS™ socket, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and several user-configurable buttons and LED indicators. UNI Clicker is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem, allowing you to create a new application in minutes. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

 * 
 * @note
 * In order for the example to work, 
 * user needs to set the phone number and sim apn to which he wants to send an SMS
 * Enter valid data for the following macros: SIM_APN and PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE.
 * E.g. 
 *  SIM_APN "vipmobile"
 *  PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE "+381659999999"
