Pin Assignment

Pin Explanation

VCC (DC power input): This is the main DC supply for a 4.5V ~ 6.5V power module board.

TX: This is the main transmit channel for outputting navigation and measurement data to user’s

navigation software or user-written software.

RX: This is the main receive channel for receiving software commands to the engine board from

SiRfdemo software or from user-written software. (NOTE:When not in use this pin must be

kept “HIGH” for operation. From Vcc connect a 470 Ohm resistor in series with a 3.2v Zener

diode to Ground. Then, connect the Rx input to Zener’s cathode to pull the input “HIGH”.)

GND: GND provides the ground for the engine boards. Be sure to connect all grounds

PPS: This pin provides a one pulse-per-second output from the engine board that is synchronized to

the GPS time.

■NMEA Input Command

A.) Set Serial Port ID:100 Set PORTA parameters and protocol

This command message is used to set the protocol (SiRF Binary, NMEA, or USER1) and/or the

communication parameters (baud, data bits, stop bits, parity). Generally, this command is utilize to

switch the GPS module back to SiRF Binary protocol mode, where an extensive message commands

are readily available. In example, whenever users are interested in altering navigation parameters, a

valid message sent and is receive by the recipient module, the new parameters will be stored in

battery backed SRAM and then the receiver will restart using the saved parameters.

Format:

$PSRF100,<protocol>,<baud>,<DataBits>,<StopBits>,<Parity>*CKSUM

<protocol> 0=SiRF Binary, 1=NMEA, 4=USER1

<baud> 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400

<DataBits> 8,7. Note that SiRF protocol is only valid f8 Data bits

<StopBits> 0,1

<Parity> 0=None, 1=Odd, 2=Even

Example 1: Switch to SiRF Binary protocol at 9600,8,N,1

Example 2: Switch to User1 protocol at 38400,8,N,1

$PSRF100,4,38400,8,1,0*38<CR><LF>

**Checksum Field: The absolute value calculated by exclusive-OR the 8 data bits of each character

in the Sentence, between, but, excluding “$” and “*”. The hexadecimal value of the most significant

and least significant 4 bits of the result are converted to two ASCII characters (0-9,A-F) for

transmission. First, the most significant character is transmitted.

**<CR><LF> : Hex 0D 0A

B.) Navigation initialization ID:101 Parameters required for start

This command is used to initialize the GPS module for a “Warm” start, by providing real-time position

（in X, Y, Z coordinates), clock offset, and time. This action enables the GPS receiver to search for the

necessary satellite signals at the correct signal parameters. The newly acquired and stored satellite

data will enable the receiver to acquire signals more quickly, and thus, generate a rapid navigational

solution.

When a valid Navigation Initialization command is receive, the receiver will restart using the input

parameters as a basis for satellite selection and acquisition.

C.) Set DGPS Port ID:102 Set PORT B parameters for DGPS input

This command is used to control Serial Port B, an input serial only port used to receive RTCM

differential corrections. Differential receivers may output corrections using different communication

parameters. The default communication parameters for PORT B are set for 9600 Baud, 8data bits, 0

stop bits, and no parity. If a DGPS receiver is used which has different communication parameters,

use this command to allow the receiver decode data correctly. When a valid message is received, the
