Getting Started. Operation in Full-power Mode
After making hardware connections as described in section
, turn the module on by turning
POWER
switch to
ON
direction.
After power-up, the module starts automatically in full-power mode. On default, Port #0 works
on binary protocol, and Port #1
– on NMEA protocol.
LED devices behave as follows:
3.3V
: constantly lighting
Tx0, Tx1
: flashing once per second
Rx0, Rx1:
flashing as soon as the Host is sending data to the module
STATUS:
flashing rate depends on current module status:
ACQUISITION
: period is 2 seconds (1 second on, 1 second off); indicates the
module is at signal acquisition phase, and no position fix yet
POSITIONING
: period is 1 second (0.2 seconds on, 0.8 seconds off); indicates
position fix is available
FAILURE
: period is 0.5 seconds (0.2 seconds on, 0.3 seconds off); indicates the
module has found hardware failure, and no position fix can be calculated.
PD_ACK:
lighting if the
module is in “ACTIVE” state.
Warm/hot starts can be organized in following ways:
If on-board backup battery is OK and
Battery
