Das IRNSS Click Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die schnelle Positionierungsfunktionen bietet. Diese Platine verfügt über das L89H, ein leistungsstarkes IRNSS-fähiges GNSS-Modul, das GPS-, IRNSS-, GLONASS-, BeiDou-, Galileo- und QZSS-Signale von Quectel Wireless Solutions empfangen und verfolgen kann. Das Modul kann mit zwei eingebetteten Antennen gleichzeitig in den Bändern L1 und L5 mit einer Standardkonfiguration von GPS+Galileo+IRNSS arbeiten. Im Vergleich zum GNSS-Modul, das nur im Band L1 arbeitet, verwendet das L89H Signale in der Standardkonfiguration, um die Anzahl der sichtbaren Satelliten zu erhöhen, TTFF zu reduzieren und die Positionierungsgenauigkeit zu verbessern, vor allem beim Einsatz in rauen städtischen Umgebungen.
Das IRNSS Click Board™ eignet sich sowohl für die Erfassung als auch für die Verfolgung und stellt ein ideales Produkt für Tracking-Anwendungen in den Bereichen Automobil, Verbraucher und Industrie dar.
How Does The IRNSS Click Board™ Work?
The IRNSS Click Board™ as its foundation uses the L89H, a high-performance acquiring and tracking IRNSS-enabled GNSS module from Quectel Wireless Solutions. It achieves a high industrial level of sensitivity, accuracy, and TTFF with low power consumption. The embedded flash memory provides a capacity for storing user-specific configurations and allows for future updates. It is fully compliant with the EU RoHS directive supporting multiple positioning and navigation systems, including autonomous GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo, IRNSS, SBAS (including WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, and GAGAN), QZSS, DGPS, and AGPS.
The IRNSS Click Board™ provides the possibility of using both UART and I2C interfaces. The UART interface supports data baud-rate from 4800bps to 921600bps, with 921600bps by default, while the I2C interface supports a fast mode of operation with a bit rate up to 400kbps. Alongside interface pins, this Click board™ also has a Reset feature routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket, which with a low logic level, puts the module into a Reset state, and with a high level operates module normally. And with that, it also has a Wake-Up feature, routed to the PWM pin on the mikroBUS™ socket, which will force the module to wakes up from Backup mode.
This Click board™ uses five different LED indicators available for signal indication:
- Blue LED Labelled as 3D_FIX, in association with the onboard BOOT button, indicates a successful positioning after the L89H module is turned on
- Yellow LED Labelled as PPS indicates when the module achieves 3D_FIX position
- Red LED Labelled as JAM_IND represents a jamming detection indicator to detect whether any jammers may have an impact on the module
- Green LED Labelled as ANT_DET indicates active antenna status - Orange LED Labelled as GEO_FENCE indicates whether the module enters or exits the geo-fence
In the primary power supply failure case, the module can use a backup supply voltage from a connected battery. IRNSS Click can use an externally chargeable battery from the button cell battery holder, suitable for 12mm Coin Cell batteries if the SMD jumper Labelled as BAT BYP is positioned to a position marked as CHG for uninterrupted operation. Otherwise, when the jumper is in a position Labelled as BRD, the module is powered only by 3.3V from the board, and if the jumper is not even populated, then the module is powered from a non-chargeable battery.
The L89H module can be connected to a dedicated passive or active GNSS antenna with a built-in LNA for sensitivity improvement. IRNSS Click possesses a miniature coaxial N.FL series antenna connector which, in combination with IPEX-SMA cable, allows connecting the appropriate antenna, such as GNSS Active External Antenna or other external antennas from our offer for improved range and received signal strength.
This Click board™ can be operated only with a 3.3V logic voltage level. The board must perform appropriate 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.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a 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. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
mikroSDK
This Click board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
