You can run this flexible board via either the host, the USB connection or the built in three cell (4.5V) switched battery supply on the reverse. To access the u-blox GNSS receiver module serial data, simply use the second micro USB connector (labelled 'GPS USB interface'). You can see receiver messages using any serial terminal software program - or you can use the u blox U-Centre evaluation software to get to know this device and really put it through its paces. The on board Microchip PIC24HJ32GP302 is pre-programmed with a bootloader and application software to access different functions using the Mode Select switch.
