5 10pin P1-P2 header 2.54mm

The Development board has 2 functional indication LEDs, as follows:

  • D1: NETLIGHT
  • D2: Power indication LED.

 

Getting Started Preparation

  • Step 1: Install Qnavigator software:  https://www.quectel.com/download/qnavigator_v1-5/
  • Step 2: After installation Act like a software wizard.
  • Step 3: Connect the Development Board by USB to UART converter to the computer.(pin p1-3, p1-4)
    • Download your driver type according to the USB-to-serial IC model
  • Step 4: select your board in the port section, set the baudrate to 115200, and click Connect.
  • Step 5: Click on the gear and see if the module is connected.
  • Step 6: By entering AT Command, you can use different parts of the module.
  • Hint: make sure the power supply voltage is stable. The board to power up and turn on automatically without the need for a turn-off function.
