{"title":"SparkFun MicroMod Update Tool","handle":"sparkfun-micromod-update-tool","url":"/products/sparkfun-micromod-update-tool","description":"The SparkFun MicroMod Update Tool is built to interface with the MicroMod Asset Tracker Carrier Board and also makes it simple to communicate directly with the u-blox SARA-R510M8S module using u-blox’s sophisticated m-center cellular evaluation software. If you’re familiar with u-center, u-blox’s GNSS evaluation software, you’ll know how excellent their software is. m-center is every bit as good. Attach a USB-C cable and away you go!The Update Tool is not a full MicroMod Processor Board, it is much simpler than that. It has a CH340C USB-Serial converter on it which gives you full access to all eight pins of the SARA-R5’s UART interface via the Asset Tracker’s USB-C connector. Think of it as a bridge from USB to serial.The Update Tool features eight pairs of Plated Through Hole connections for the UART signals. You can use these to connect directly to the SARA UART using 3.3V signals if you want to. The split pads on the rear of the Tool can be opened to isolate the CH340C completely; the pins nearest the M.2 will link straight to the SARA UART.Get Started with the MicroMod Update Tool Hookup GuideFeatures:\nCH340C USB-Serial converter\nEight pairs of Plated Through Hole connections with split pad jumper links for:\nSerial Transmit (TX)\nSerial Receive (RX)\nRequest To Send (RTS)\nClear To Send (CTS)\nData Terminal Ready (DTR)\nData Set Ready (DSR)\nRing Indicator (RI)\nData Carrier Detect (DCD)\n\n\nLED indicator for:Power (3.3V)\n\nDocuments:MicroMod Update Tool Documentation:\nSchematic\nEagle Files\nHookup Guide\nBoard Dimensions\nGitHub Hardware Repo\nu-blox Documentation and Software:\nu-blox m-center\nu-blox EasyFlash v12.08 Download\nFirmware Update App Note\nMicroMod Documentation:\nGetting Started with MicroMod\nDesigning with MicroMod\nMicroMod Info Page\nMicroMod Forums\nVideos","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":3410,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-DEV-17725","price":11.68,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":140,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
