2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board™, make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left
and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male
headers are included with the board in
the package.

4. Essential features
GPS2 Click™ with it’s
Quectel L30
IC is a
compact solution for adding Global Positioning
Systems (GPS) to your design. The
Quectel
L30
has advanced jamming suppression
mechanism and innovative RF architecture
ensuring maximum GPS performance. The
module supports location, navigation and
industrial applications including autonomous
GPS C/A, SBAS (WAAS or EGNOS) and A-GPS.
The board is designed for use with active
antennas.

1. Introduction
2
Turn the board upside down so that
bottom side is facing you upwards. Place
shorter parts of the header pins in both
soldering pad locations.
Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
GPS2 Click™ is an accessory board in
mikroBUS
™
form factor. It’s a compact and
easy solution for adding GPS module to
your design. It features
Quectel L30
GPS
module as well as SMA antenna connector.
GPS2 Click™ communicates with target
board microcontroller via
mikroBUS
™
UART (Tx, Rx), I
2
C (SCL, SDA), SPI (MISO,
MOSI, SCK, CS), PWM, INT, AN and RST
lines. The board is designed to use 3.3V
and 5V power supply. LED diode (GREEN)
indicates the presence of power supply.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into desired
mikroBUS™ socket. Make sure to align the
cut in the lower-right part of the board
with the markings on the silkscreen at the
mikroBUS™ socket. If all of the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.

6. SMD Jumpers
There are three groups of jumpers: UART
(J2,J3,J4), I
2
C (J5,J6,J7) and SPI (J8,J9,J10,J11)
By soldering zero-ohm SMD jumpers in
appropriate group, you will be able to change
communication between target board
microcontroller and
Quectel L30
module.
There is one SMD jumper
J1
used to select
between 3.3V or 5V power supply.
J1
jumper
is soldered in 3.3V position by default.
