3 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW Shield-GPS53 is a special designed to create the SKM53 GPS module into Arduino Shield. SKM53 GPS module is communicating using UART. The SKM53 Series with embedded GPS antenna enables high performance navigation in the most stringent applications and solid fix even in harsh GPS visibility environments. It is based on the high performance features of the MediaTek 3329 single-chip architecture. It is -165dBm tracking sensitivity extends positioning coverage into place like urban canyons and dense foliage environment where the GPS was not possible before. Features: On board 3V3 regulator. On board 5V to 3V3 level shifter. Prototyping area. Optional direct GPS with computer communication via USB (With Arduino UNO or CT-UNO). Hardware and Software serial selectable. Compatible with: Arduino UNO R1, R3 CT-UNO Arduino Leonardo Arduino Mega 2560 R3 Created by Cytron Technologies Sdn. Bhd. All Rights Reserved 3

6 4.0 PRODUCT LAYOUT 1. Stackable Digital I/O Headers Digital I/O pins stacked to the Arduino main board. 2. RX Pin Selector User may select D0, D2, D8, D10 or USB * as the RX pin from Arduino main board with the mini jumper. 3. TX Pin Selector User may select D1, D3, D9, D11 or USB * as the TX pin from Arduino main board with the mini jumper. 4. Stackable Analog Input Header This is the analog port of the Arduino. The stackable header allows other stacked shield to utilize these pins. 5. Stackable Power Pins Header This is the power port of the Arduino. The stackable header allows other stacked shield to utilize these pins. 6. Main Board reset button Arduino main board will require around 30ms to ready after reset.

9 6.0 HARDWARE This section shows the example of using SHIELD-GPS53 with CT-UNO as the main controller. However, other Arduino main board such as Arduino Duemilanove, Arduino Mega, Arduino Uno can also be used. Figure below shows that the SHIELD-GPS53 is stacked on the CT-UNO. Please ensure that the pins alignment is correct. Created by Cytron Technologies Sdn. Bhd. All Rights Reserved 9

10 Select the pins for UART s TX and RX. Pin D0 and D1 are hardware serial of most arduino main boards. Other selectable pin for TX and RX on Shield-GPS53 are software serial pin. The default TX pin is set to D1 while the RX pin is set to D0. However, other pins may be selected if these pins are already used by other shields. Select USB for TX and RX if user want to use PC to communicate with GPS53 module.
