Module comes with GPS/Glonass module SIM68M.

Determination of coordinates.

The time calibration signal.

Antenna

WBE3-R-GPS front side with connected antenna
WBE3-R-GPS back side with connected antenna

The module is not equipped with an antenna. The antenna is connected via the SMA connector.

When ordering the controller Wiren Board with the module, SMA type antenna connector installed on enclosure connector .

Antenna supply voltage: 3.3 V.

Data

The data come from the module in the format NMEA. To work in Linux, you can use the software gpsd from our repository, or any other.

Data exchange with the module is carried out through the serial port.

Connection parameters: 9600 8N1.

The PPS signal is output to the "CS" input of the extension connector.

Operation in Wiren Board 6

Extension module Serial port
MOD3 /dev/ttyMOD3

Module installation

Installation of the module is possible in any of the MOD1-3 internal slots. The procedure for installing the module into the controller is shown on page GPS/GLONASS module installation ( similar to the WB5)

Add a module to the Web interface

Configuring the module in the Web interface
NMEA message output

In the Web interface sectionConfigs => Hardware Modules Configuration in the list of expansion slots, select the slot in which you installed the module, for example, Internal slot 3, and in the list Module type select WBE3-R-GPS: GPS/GLONASS Receiver. Press Save to add a module to the controller configuration.

You can check the presence of the module by the output of the dmesg command, it should appear lines like:

[  380.797627] pps pps2: new PPS source mod3_pps.-1
[  380.822196] pps pps2: Registered IRQ 133 as PPS source

The output of the lsmod command must specify the pps_gpio module, and the output of NMEA messages can be obtained with the command cat/dev/ttyMOD3 (see Fig.)
