2 Device description
2.1 USB
A USB-C connector is featured for data communication and power supply. USB drivers are installed
automatically through Windows update.
2.2 UART
The unit includes an RS-232 port which can be dynamically connected to the UART of the ZED-F9K,
the NEO-D9S, or the onboard MCU. Selection of the UART connection is controlled by the SEL_NEO_N
and SEL_MCU_N pins on the front connector.
SEL_NEO_N SEL_MCU_N Connected component
LOW OPEN NEO-D9S
OPEN LOW MCU
OPEN OPEN ZED-F9K
LOW LOW None
☞
The selected UART interface is also available via the RxD and TxD pins on the front connector. The
pins are at TTL voltage levels.
⚠
Do not use flow control with the RS-232 port.
2.3 Antenna
There are two female SMA connectors on the unit. The one on the front (RF_IN) is used by the ZED-
F9K module, and the one on the back (RF_AUX) is used by the NEO-D9S module.
The kit includes a u-blox ANN-MB1 L1/L5 active multi-band GNSS antenna with a 5-meter cable to be
used by the ZED-F9K module. A suitable antenna for the NEO-D9S is sold separately.
2.4 26-pin front connector
The connector and its signals are described in the table below. The pins are numbered right to left,
with the odd numbers on the top row and the even numbers on the bottom row.
