La carte GNSS ZOE Click Board™ est une carte d'évaluation pour le récepteur GNSS SiP ultra-compact ZOE-M8Q d'u-blox. Grâce aux algorithmes avancés et à la solution GNSS complète d'u-blox, la carte GNSS ZOE Click répond aux exigences les plus strictes des applications industrielles et grand public polyvalentes, telles que les drones, le suivi des véhicules et des actifs, les appareils de navigation basés sur GPS et GLONASS, les appareils de navigation routière, les transports publics, les appareils portables et bien d'autres. GNSS ZOE est principalement destiné aux applications qui nécessitent un appareil de petite taille sans compromettre les performances.
Le GNSS ZOE Click Board™ est pris en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Ce Click Board™ est un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
The GNSS ZOE Click Board™ features high precision GNSS, dual-frequency RF front-end, onboard serial flash memory, message integrity protection, anti-jamming, anti-spoofing, and many more, makes this Click board™ meet even the most stringent requirements in versatile industrial and consumer applications, such as UAVs, vehicles and assets tracking. For RF optimization, the ZOE-M8Q module features the integrated front-end SAW filter and an additional front-end LNA for increased jamming immunity and easier antenna integration. The GNSS ZOE Click Board™ is designed mainly for using with GNSS/GLONASS compatible active antennas.
How Does The GNSS ZOE Click Board™ Work?
The GNSS ZOE Click Board™ features the ZOE-M8Q are u-blox's super small, highly integrated GNSS SiP (System in The package) modules based on the high performing u-blox M8 concurrent positioning engine. The ultra-miniature form factor integrates a complete GNSS receiver including SAW filter, LNA and TCXO. Incorporating ZOE-M8 into customer designs is simple and straightforward, thanks to the fully integrated design, single voltage supply, low power consumption, simple interface and sophisticated interference suppression that ensure maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments.
The ZOE-M8 GNSS SiPs are concurrent GNSS receivers which can receive and track multiple GNSS systems: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou. Owing to the dual-frequency RF front-end architecture, either GLONASS or BeiDou can be processed concurrently with GPS and Galileo signals, thereby providing reception of three GNSS systems. By default, the M8 receivers are configured for concurrent GPS and GLONASS, including SBAS and QZSS reception. If power consumption is a key factor, then the receiver should be configured for a single GNSS operation using GPS, Galileo, GLONASS or BeiDou and disabling QZSS and SBAS.
Thanks to onboard 64 Mbit SQI flash memory, GNSS ZOE click can also be used in data logging applications. The data logging feature enables continuous storage of position, velocity and time information to the flash memory. The information can be downloaded from the receiver later for further analysis or for conversion to a mapping tool. Besides the data logging feature, the flash memory can also be used for the AssistNow Offline service, which allows the users to download long-term orbit data over the Internet at their convenience and store it to the onboard 64 Mbit SQI flash memory.
The ZOE-M8 SiP supports both SPI and I2C/UART communication protocol configurations. Therefore, this Click board™ have communication interface selection jumpers, named COMM SEL, in order to allow the user to set whether to use SPI communication or I2C/UART combination. Note that there is five SMD jumpers and all of them should be in the same position.
The GNSS ZOE Click Board™ can operate with 3.3V MCUs only, it is set to work over the I2C by default, and it is already equipped with the pull-up resistors. It is ready to be used as soon as it is inserted into a mikroBUS™ socket of the development system.

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.
