40-pin
header
This header is used to connect the XBIB-C-GPS board to a compatible XBIB
development board. Insert the XBIB-C-GPS module slowly with alternating
pressure on the upper and lower parts of the connector. If added or removed
improperly, the pins on the attached board could bend out of shape.

This is the CAM-M8Q-0-10 module made by u-blox. This is what makes the GPS
measurements. Proper orientation is with the board laying completely flat, with
the module facing towards the sky.
Interface with the XBIB-C-GPS module
The XBee 3 802.15.4 RF Module can interface with the XBIB-C-GPS board through the large 40-pin
header. This header is designed to fit into XBIB-C development board. This allows the XBee 3 802.15.4
RF Module in the XBIB-C board to communicate with the XBIB-C-GPS board—provided the XBee device
used has MicroPython capabilities (see
to determine which devices have MicroPython
capabilities). There are two ways to interface with the XBIB-C-GPS board: through the host board’s
Secondary UART or through the I2C compliant lines.
The following picture shows a typical setup:
