GNSS ZOE Click Board
GNSS ZOE Click Board
The GNSS ZOE Click Board™ is a evaluation board for ultra small ZOE-M8Q GNSS SiP receiver from u-blox. Thanks to u-blox’s advanced algorithms and complete GNSS solution, the GNSS ZOE click meets even the most stringent requirements in versatile industrial and consumer applications, such as UAVs, vehicles and assets tracking, navigation devices based on GPS and GLONASS, road navigation devices, public transport, wearable devices, and many more. GNSS ZOE is mainly targeted for applications that require a small size device without compromising performance.
The GNSS ZOE Click Board™ is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click Board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
Software Support
We provide a library for the GNSS ZOE Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
This library allows user to perform a control of the GNSS ZOE Click Board™. Also user can check the indication status from the charger to get charging state. Fault condition also can be checked. For more details check documentation.
Key Functions
void gnsszoe_spi_get( uint8_t * register_buffer, uint16_t number_of_registers )
- gets specified number of register values and stores those values into register buffer.uint8_t gnsszoe_uart_get( void )
- receives bytes via UART.void gnsszoe_i2c_get( uint8_t register_address, uint8_t * register_buffer, uint16_t number_of_registers )
- gets specified number of register values and stores those values into register buffer.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes GPIO pins, SPI, UART, I2C and LOG modules.
- Application Initialization - Initializes SPI, UART, I2C driver and resets the device .
- Application Task - Executes gnsszoe_task() function.
void gnsszoe_task( ) { if (communication_module == _GNSSZOE_MODULE_SPI) { gnsszoe_spi_capture( ); } else if (communication_module == _GNSSZOE_MODULE_UART) { gnsszoe_uart_capture( ); } else if (communication_module == _GNSSZOE_MODULE_I2C) { gnsszoe_i2c_capture( ); } else { mikrobus_logWrite( "> Setup error", _LOG_LINE ); } gnsszoe_parse( ); }
Additional Functions :
- gnsszoe_spi_capture() - Captures message bytes via SPI interface
- gnsszoe_wait_for_uartReady() - Waits for UART ready indication
- gnsszoe_uart_capture() - Captures message bytes via UART interface
- gnsszoe_i2c_capture() - Captures message bytes via I2C interface
- gnsszoe_parse() - Parses received message
- gnsszoe_task() - Executes gnsszoe_xxx_capture() and gnsszoe_parse() functions
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be found on our LibStock page.
Other mikroE Libraries used in the example:
- SPI
- I2C

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need 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
The GNSS ZOE 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.
