Hardware Overview

How does it work?

GSM/GNSS 2 Click is based on the SIM868, a multi-purpose module that integrates a high-performance GNSS engine and a GSM/GPRS engine from SIMCom. The quad-band GSM/GPRS engine can work at 850, 900, 1800, and 1900MHz. It also features GPRS multi-slot class 12 and supports the GPRS coding schemes CS-1, CS-2, CS-3, and CS-4. The GNSS solution offers best-in-class acquisition and tracking sensitivity, Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF), and accuracy. The GSM part of the SIM868 is integrated with Internet service protocols such as TCP, UDP, PPP, HTTP, and FTP. The excellent positioning performance, low power consumption, and dual μSIM card interfaces make SIM868 the superb choice for many M2M applications. The SIM868 module has to be powered by a clean and stable power supply. The voltage for the module to work correctly is 4V, derived from the 5V mikroBUS™ power rail through the MCP1826, a 1A low drop output (LDO) regulator. The main 4V power supply is also the

power supply for the GSM/GNSS block of the SIM868. Also, activation of the module itself is possible via the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket connected to the PWRKEY pin used for turning the module ON and OFF. The SIM868 communicates with MCU using the UART interface with commonly used UART RX and TX pins with the hardware flow control pins UART CTS, RTS, RI (Clear to Send, Ready to Send, and Ring Indicator). The GSM/GNSS 2 Click also has an onboard MicroSD/MicroSIM card socket with a card detection feature routed to the AN pin on the mikroBUS™ socket, A5839 Bluetooth 3.0 2.4GHz chip antenna, which the SIM868 module version supports, and an additional header labeled as HD1 for audio interface (channels for connecting speakers and a microphone). In addition to all these features, this Click board™ has three yellow LED indicators labeled NET, STAT, and 1PPS. The network status NET indicates if the module is attached or not to a network, Power-ON Status

STAT indicates the operating status of the module, and successfully positioning 1PPS shows one pulse per second synchronized to GNSS satellites. Furthermore, it possesses two SMA antenna connectors with an impedance of 50Ω, labeled as GNSS and GSM, used for connecting the appropriate antenna that MIKROE offers. It can receive GPS coordinates, time, and other information from orbiting satellites when connected to a GPS antenna. The Click board™ can be used for all GSM functions — calls, messages (SMS, MMS), and mobile internet. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via an onboard jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.

Features overview

Development board

Arduino UNO is a versatile microcontroller board built around the ATmega328P chip. It offers extensive connectivity options for various projects, featuring 14 digital input/output pins, six of which are PWM-capable, along with six analog inputs. Its core components include a 16MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an

ICSP header, and a reset button, providing everything necessary to power and program the board. The Uno is ready to go, whether connected to a computer via USB or powered by an AC-to-DC adapter or battery. As the first USB Arduino board, it serves as the benchmark for the Arduino platform, with "Uno" symbolizing its status as the

first in a series. This name choice, meaning "one" in Italian, commemorates the launch of Arduino Software (IDE) 1.0. Initially introduced alongside version 1.0 of the Arduino Software (IDE), the Uno has since become the foundational model for subsequent Arduino releases, embodying the platform's evolution.

Accessories

Click Shield for Arduino UNO has two proprietary mikroBUS™ sockets, allowing all the Click board™ devices to be interfaced with the Arduino UNO board without effort. The Arduino Uno, a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P, provides an affordable and flexible way for users to try out new concepts and build prototypes with the ATmega328P microcontroller from various combinations of performance, power consumption, and features. The Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins (of which six can be used as PWM outputs), six analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator (CSTCE16M0V53-R0), a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and reset button. Most of the ATmega328P microcontroller pins are brought to the IO pins on the left and right edge of the board, which are then connected to two existing mikroBUS™ sockets. This Click Shield also has several switches that perform functions such as selecting the logic levels of analog signals on mikroBUS™ sockets and selecting logic voltage levels of the mikroBUS™ sockets themselves. Besides, the user is offered the possibility of using any Click board™ with the help of existing bidirectional level-shifting voltage translators, regardless of whether the Click board™ operates at a 3.3V or 5V logic voltage level. Once you connect the Arduino UNO board with our Click Shield for Arduino UNO, you can access hundreds of Click boards™, working with 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels.

  • gsmgnss2_set_sim_apn - Set sim card APN

  • gsmgnss2_send_sms_pdu - GSM GNSS send SMS in PDU mode.

Open Source

Code example

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.

/*!
 * @file main.c
 * @brief GSM/GNSS 2 Click Example.
 *
 * # Description
 * This example reads and processes data from GSM/GNSS 2 Clicks.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initializes the driver and powers up the module, then sets default configuration 
 * for connecting the device to network.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * Waits for the device to connect to network, then waits for the GNSS position fix. Once it get a fix, 
 * it sends an SMS with GNSS info to the selected phone number approximately every 40 seconds.
 *
 * ## Additional Function
 * - static void gsmgnss2_clear_app_buf ( void )
 * - static void gsmgnss2_error_check( err_t error_flag )
 * - static void gsmgnss2_log_app_buf ( void )
 * - static void gsmgnss2_check_connection( void )
 * - static err_t gsmgnss2_rsp_check ( void )
 * - static err_t gsmgnss2_process ( void )
 * - static void gnss_parser_application ( void )
 *
 * @note
 * A passive GPS antenna is required for the GNSS to receive the position fix. It may take several minutes
 * for the module to receive the fix.
 * In order for the example to work, user needs to set the phone number to which he wants 
 * to send an SMS, and also will need to set an APN and SMSC (required for PDU mode only) of entered SIM card.
 * Enter valid data for the following macros: SIM_APN, SIM_SMSC and PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE.
 * Example. 
    SIM_APN "vipmobile"
    SIM_SMSC "+381610401"
    PHONE_NUMBER_TO_MESSAGE "+381659999999"
