MicroMod Asset Tracker Carrier Board Hookup Guide
Hardware Overview
The MicroMod Asset Tracker has a lot going on so buckle up. In this section we'll cover the various components and hardware included on the Asset Tracker.
Common Components
Most SparkFun MicroMod Carriers will have some common components and all MicroMod Carriers will have the keyed M.2 MicroMod Connector to plug your processor into. The photo and list below outline some of the components you can expect on most SparkFun MicroMod Carriers.
- M.2 MicroMod Connector - This special keyed M.2 connector lets you install your MicroMod Processor of choice on your Asset Tracker Carrier Board.
- USB-C Connector - Connect to your computer to program your Processor and also can provide power to your MicroMod system.
- 3.3V Regulator - Provides a regulated 3.3V and sources up to 1A.
- Qwiic Connector - The standard Qwiic connector so you can add other Qwiic devices to your MicroMod system.
- Boot/Reset Buttons - Push buttons to enter Boot Mode on Processor boards and to Reset your MicroMod circuit.
- microSD Slot - Insert a microSD card for reading and writing data.
- RTC Battery - We've included a 3V Lithium Rechargeable Battery as a backup power source for the Processor Board Real Time Clock (if present).
u-blox SARA-R510M8S
The heart of the Asset Tracker is the SARA-R510M8S module from u-blox. This module does so much, it is difficult to know where to begin!
Designed to last an IoT lifetime, this module is 5G-ready with the u-blox UBX-R5 chipset. It has built-in end-to-end security with hardware-based root of trust inside a discrete secure element. It provides a full security suite with foundation, design and end-to-end security, as well as access control. The built-in u‑blox M8 GNSS receiver provides accurate and reliable positioning, always and everywhere. It is optimized for ultra-low power consumption and critical firmware updates can be delivered and services enabled via uFOTA (Firmware Over The Air). There. We told you it did a lot!
The SARA-R5 supports many different forms of data communication from full TCP/IP sockets and packet switched data, through HTTP Get/Put/Post, FTP (the SARA has a built-in file system), Ping, to good old SMS text messaging! The built-in GNSS receiver provides NMEA format data and our library looks after the parsing for you.
The connection between the SARA-R5 and the MicroMod Processor Board is serial (3.3V UART) but again, with this module being so clever, it can communicate over two serial interfaces at the same time. Want your LTE data on one interface and your GNSS data on a separate interface? It can do that too!
LTE and GNSS connections are via separate, robust SMA connectors. Switchable 3.3V power for an active antenna is available on the GNSS connector. The Asset Tracker includes a socket for a Nano SIM.
If you need to, you can manually turn the SARA off by pushing and holding the SARA On button. The SARA will disconnect from the network before going into low power sleep. Press the button briefly to turn the SARA back on again.
ICM-20948 IMU
The Asset Tracker carries the same ICM-20948 9-Degree Of Freedom Inertial Measurement Unit as OpenLog Artemis. It can provide fast accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer data and can be configured for “Wake On Motion” too. We have a WOM example ready to go. It has a built-in temperature sensor too.
Digital Microphone
Thieves are wily these days. When attempting to steal your asset, one of the first things they will do is cover or break the antenna (if they can see it). The built-in SPH0641 digital microphone can be used to send an alert as soon as the Asset Tracker hears the thieves coming!
Battery Charging and Monitoring Circuit
Since many applications for the Asset Tracker involve a battery-powered circuit, the board includes both the MCP73831 LiPo battery charger and the MAX17048 battery fuel gauge. The MCP7381 Single-cell charge management IC can deliver a charge current up to 500mA. The MAX17048 is a low-power I2C fuel gauge to monitor your battery's remaining charge.
Plated Through-Hole (PTH) Connections
GPIO PTHs
We've broken out dedicated PTHs for digital, analog, pulse width modulation (PWM), I2C and SPI along the sides of the Asset Tracker Carrier Board. You may also notice that we've included a ground rail next to the digital, analog and PWM pins.
Power PTHs
We've also provided PTHs for monitoring and accessing the following power circuits:
- VIN - The power rail fed by USB-C and/or the LiPo battery.
- 3.3V - The regulated 3.3V rail which feeds most of the components on the board. You can measure the 3.3V current draw using the MEAS pins (see below).
- VCCIO - This is the 1.8V rail generated by the SARA-R5. We use it to power the 1.8V to 3.3V level shifters for the UART and I2C connections.
- 1.8V - This is the 1.8V rail which powers the IMU. You can disable it by pulling the MicroMod G4 digital pin LOW.
- RST - Pull this low to reset the MicroMod Processor and the SARA-R5.
SARA-R5 PTHs
The following SARA-R5 I/O connections are also broken out to PTH headers:
- NI - This is the SARA's Network Indicator signal. It will be low (0V) when the network is available, and high (3.3V) when the network is not available.
- TP - This is the Timing Pulse (1PPS) signal and is connected to SARA GPIO6/TP. It will pulse low and high when the SARA is receiving a GNSS signal and the timing pulse has been enabled. Please see Example11 for more details.
- SARA USB D-/D+/DET - These PTHs provide access to the SARA's diagnostic USB port. This connection is only used to access the SARA's trace log. You cannot (currently) upgrade the SARA via this interface. Please consult the SARA R5 Integration Manual for more details.
- SARA I2C - These 3.3V (level-shifted) PTHs can be used to access the SARA's I2C bus. Some models of the SARA-R5 use I2C to communicate with an external GNSS module. As the SARA-R510M8S has GNSS built-in, it is unclear what you might want to use them for. But, we've been diligent and have broken them out anyway!
SWD Programming Pins
An unpopulated JTAG footprint is available for more advanced users who need breakpoint level debugging. Note that this is not populated so you will need a compatible header and compatible JTAG programmer to connect.
Solder Jumpers
On the rear of the board, you will find a large number of jumpers which you can use to connect and disconnect several of the connections between the SARA and the MicroMod Processor:
The tables below outline all of the jumpers on the Asset Tracker along with brief descriptions of their functionality.
Jumper Name/Label | Description | Default State | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
G0 / SD CS | Ties the µSD Chip Enable to G0 | CLOSED | |
G1 / SD PWR | Toggles 3.3V to control power the µSD card. | CLOSED | Open to isolate G1. µSD will default to always on. |
G2 / LTE_PWR | Connects G2 to the SARA-R5 ON signal via a level-shifting circuit. | CLOSED | Allows G2 to function in the exact same way as the SARA On button. Cut the jumper to isolate G2 if required. |
G3 / IMU PWR | When closed, G3 can be used to control power for the IMU via software. By default, IMU power is always on. | OPEN | On the ESP32 Processor G3 is linked directly to the processor's TX1 pin. Leave the G3 jumper OPEN if you are using the ESP32 Processor or else serial communication with the SARA will not work. |
G4 / RI | When closed, connects G4 to the SARA-R5's Ring Indicator pin. | OPEN | On the ESP32 Processor, G4 is shared with the processor's RX1 pin. Similarly, G4 is shared with SPI CIPO on the RP2040 Processor. Leave this jumper OPEN if using either Processor to avoid serial communication errors with the SARA. |
G5 / SARA INT | When closed, connects G5 with either the SARA-R5's Interrupt I/O pin or the SARA's GPIO3 I/O pin depending on the state of the EXT INT / GPIO3 dual jumper (covered below). | OPEN | On the RP2040 Processor, G5 is shared with SPI Chip Select line. Closing the jumper will interfere with the SPI bus on the RP2040 Processor. |
G6 / SARA ON | When closed, this jumper allows G6 to monitor if the SARA power is on. | OPEN | This signal is different to the SARA On push-button. On the RP2040 Processor, G6 is shared with the SPI Clock line. Closing this jumper will interfere with the SPI bus on the RP2040 Processor. |
G7 / DSR | When closed, connects G7 to the SARA's DSR signal. | OPEN | On the RP2040 Processor, G7 is shared with the SPI COPI line. Leave this jumper open to avoid interfering with the SPI bus on this processor. |
PDM DAT | Connects the data signal from on-board microphone to AUD_LRCLK (MicroMod Pad 52). | CLOSED | On the RP2040 Processor, AUD_LRCLK is shared with CTS1. Open this jumper to use the CTS connection on the SARA. |
PDM CLK | Connects the clock signal from the on-board microphone to AUD_BCLK (MicroMod Pad 50). | CLOSED | On the RP2040 Processor, AUD_BCLK is shared with RTS1. Open this jumper to use the RTS connection on the SARA. |
I2C | A dual jumper that ties SDA & SCL on the primary I2C/Qwiic bus to 3.3V via a pair of 2.2kΩ resistors. | CLOSED | Open both jumpers to disconnect the pull-ups. |
SARA I2C | A dual jumper that ties the SARA's SDA and SCL lines to 3.3V via a pair of 2.2kΩ | CLOSED | Open both jumpers to disable the pull-ups. |
CIPO | Ties SPI CIPO/SDI to 3.3V via a 2.2kΩ resistor. | CLOSED | Open to disconnect the pull-up. Opening this jumper may be advantageous for very low power applications where Processors like the Artemis have internal pull-ups which can be used instead. |
EXT INT / GPIO3 | A dual jumper used to select which signal is connected to MicroMod G5. | SEE NOTE | By default, this jumper is set so if the G5 / SARA INT jumper is closed, G5 is connected to the SARA EXT INT I/O pin. Switch this jumper to the opposite side to connect G5 to the SARA GPIO3 pin. |
DSR | A dual jumper used to control the direction of DSR from input to output . | SEE NOTE | By default, this jumper sets DSR as an input. Switching it sets DSR as an output so users can use dual-UART communication modes on the SARA. |
MEAS | Allows users to measure the current draw from the 3.3V power rail. | CLOSED | Open this jumper and complete the circuit using a digital multimeter to measure current draw on the 3.3V power rail. |
VIN/3 | Completes the VIN/3 voltage divider circuit. | CLOSED | Open the jumper to disable the VIN/3 voltage divider circuit. Disabling this can be useful in very low power applications to reduce total current draw. |
3V3 (LED) | Connects the anode of the 3.3V LED to 3.3V via a 1kΩ resistor. | CLOSED | Open the jumper to disable the 3.3V LED to reduce total current draw of the MicroMod circuit. |
VIN (LED) | Connects the anode of the VIN LED to VIN (5V if powered by USB, 3.7V nominal if powered by LiPo battery) via a 4.7kΩ resistor. | CLOSED | Open the jumper to disable the VIN LED to reduce the total current draw of the MicroMod circuit. |
ICM_INT | Connects the ICM IMU Interrupt pin to the primary I2C Interrupt pin (I2C_INT) on the MicroMod connector. | CLOSED | Open the jumper to isolate the MicroMod I2C_INT pin from the ICM-20948. On the RP2040 Processor, I2C_INT is shared with TX2. You may need to open this jumper to use the DTR handshake signal. |
Jumper Name/Label | Description | Default State | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
V USB | Connects VUSB_DET on the SARA's diganostic (trace log) USB port to V_USB (5V | OPEN | Important! You must not have a Processor installed to use the diagnostic USB port. |
USB D+ | Connects USB_D+ on the SARA's diagnostic (trace log) USB port to USB_D+ on the USB-C connector. | OPEN | Important! You must not have a Processor installed to use the diagnostic USB port. |
USB_D- | Connects USB_D- on the SARA's diagnostic (trace log) USB port to USB_D- on the USB-C connector. | OPEN | Important! You must not have a Processor installed to use the diagnostic USB port. |
VE | When closed, allows the Processor to disable the main 3.3V regulator via the 3.3V_EN pin. | OPEN | Recommended only for very low power applications. The Processor can draw power from the RTC battery while the voltage regulator is disabled. |
BYP | Bypasses the 6V/2A fuse and nets VIN and V_USB together. | OPEN | The "penny-in-the-fuse" jumper. Close only if you know what you are doing! |
