Figure 8: Top view (left) and the bottom view (right) of the GNSS daughter card 

The MTi-7-DK comes with the GNSS daughter card installed in the 

auxiliary sensor extension sockets

 

(P200 and P201). As shown in Figure 8, the GNSS daughter card consists of a GNSS and a barometer 
sensor  component.  The  LEDs  (Power  and  PPS)  give  indication  of  proper  functioning  of  the  GNSS 
daughter card. The supplied GNSS antenna can be connected to the SMA connector. 
 
The 

auxiliary sensor extension socket

 has mikroBUS™ compatible pinning. This enables the user to 

connect alternate GNSS daughter card modules with mikroBUS™ pinning to the MTi 1-series Shield 
board.  The  pinning  connections  for  the  auxiliary  sensor  extension  socket  are  listed  in  Table  7.  This 
extension only uses the 3.3V supply pin, which is connected to VDDIO. Therefore, make sure that the 
VDDIO is within the required voltage range of the GNSS module.
