3 Quick Start
In order to allow an easy and quick start with the A2200-A module, this chapter pro-
vides a short overview on the important steps to be taken to receive NMEA mes-
sages with position information on a serial port (UART).
NOTE 1
: The A2200-A needs an external pull-up resistor to be configured for
UART operation. Please consider the pull-up resistor in your design or pull the
GPIO up right after reset by other means.
NOTE 2
: The ON_OFF input of the A2200-A needs to be connected to a
push-pull output of a microprocessor. For a wake-up, including the initial one
after power on, a LOW-HIGH transmission is mandatory.
NOTE 3
: It is recommended to connect the nRST pin of the A2200-A to an open
collector / open drain output of a microprocessor!
3.1 Minimum Configuration
The following picture shows the minimum configuration for NMEA or binary outputs
received and commands sent via an RS232 interface based on the GPS module
A2200-A using a passive antenna.
