Software Overview

USB Driver

The USB drivers for the CH340 USB-to-Serial converter can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.

Linux

A USB driver should not be required for most Linux based operating systems.

Default Settings

Below, are the default settings for the UART interface of the DAN-F10N GNSS module:

  • Baudrate: 38400bps
  • Data Bits: 8
  • Parity: No
  • Stop Bits: 1

u-center 2 Software

u-center 2 is u-blox's software application for configuration, evaluation, and debugging of u-blox GNSS receivers and services. The software provides a relatively, simple graphics user interface to assess and test u-blox GNSS modules for navigation and positioning performance. It also allows users to define or apply GNSS product configurations for specific use cases. Saving, restoring, or sharing configurations between different products is easy.

System Requirements

Operating Systems

  • Windows 10
  • Windows 11

User Account Required

The first time that users access the software, they will need to either create or login to their existing u-blox account. This requires internet access to login through a web browser. Once the account has been verified, users will no longer need to login again; unless they log out from the u-center 2 software.

Video Tutorials

Users should reference the user manual for more information on the u-center 2 software. However, we have also linked their webinar and some videos from their Youtube playlist on u-blox's u-center 2 software application.

Arduino IDE

Tip

For first-time users, who have never programmed before and are looking to use the Arduino IDE, we recommend beginning with the SparkFun Inventor's Kit (SIK), which is designed to help users get started programming with the Arduino IDE.

Most users may already be familiar with the Arduino IDE and its use. However, for those of you who have never heard the name Arduino before, feel free to check out the Arduino website. To get started with using the Arduino IDE, check out our tutorials below:

SparkFun u-blox GNSS v3 Library

The SparkFun u-blox GNSS v3 library can be installed from the library manager in the Arduino IDE by searching for:
