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.

GSM2 click

1. Introduction

4. Essential features

Turn the board upside down so that

the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.

GSM2 click is an accessory board in

mikroBUS form factor. Its a compact and
easy solution for adding a GSM module to
your design. It carries a Quectel M95 GSM
module, audio connector, SIM card socket as
well as an SMA antenna connector. GSM2
click communicates with target board
microcontroller via mikroBUS UART (Tx,
Rx), PWM, INT, AN, RST and CS lines. The
board is designed to use 3.3V and 5V I/O
voltage levels. LED diode (GREEN) indicates
the presence of a power supply.

Turn the board upward again. Make sure

to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder
the pins carefully.

3. Plugging the board in

Once you have soldered the headers
your board is ready to be placed into the
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 the pins are
aligned correctly, push the board all
the way into the socket.

GSM2 click with its Quectel M95 IC is ideal

for mobile devices. The Quectel M95 is a
quad-band GSM/GPRS engine that works at
frequencies of GSM850MHz, GSM900MHz,
DCS1800MHz or PCS1900MHz with 85.6
kbps GPRS data transfer. It supports
internet service protocols, such as TCP/IP,
UDP, FTP and PPP.

Once you have done all the necessary

preparations, its time to get your click board
up and running. We have provided examples
for mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal
compilers on our Libstock website. Just
download them and you are ready to start.
