Mosaic Click is a compact add-on board for precision navigation and location-based applications. This board features the Mosaic-X5, a compact global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver from Septentrio. The Mosaic-X5 stands out for its multi-band and multi-constellation tracking ability, ensuring robust and comprehensive global coverage. It features Septentrio's AIM+ technology for superior interference mitigation, enabling it to counteract a wide range of signal disruptions.

We provide a library for the Mosaic Click as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Package can be downloaded/installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.
This library contains API for Mosaic Click driver.
mosaic_cfg_setup
Config Object Initialization function.
void mosaic_cfg_setup ( mosaic_cfg_t *cfg );
mosaic_init
Initialization function.
err_t mosaic_init ( mosaic_t *ctx, mosaic_cfg_t *cfg );
mosaic_generic_read
This function reads a desired number of data bytes by using UART serial interface.
err_t mosaic_generic_read ( mosaic_t *ctx, uint8_t *data_out, uint16_t len );
mosaic_enable_nmea_output
This function enables the NMEA output with the selected message parameters and an output interval.
void mosaic_enable_nmea_output ( mosaic_t *ctx, uint8_t *msg_param, uint8_t *interval );
mosaic_parse_gga
This function parses the GGA data from the read response buffer.
err_t mosaic_parse_gga ( uint8_t *rsp_buf, uint8_t gga_element, uint8_t *element_data );
This example demonstrates the use of Mosaic Click by reading and displaying the GNSS coordinates.
The demo application is composed of two sections :
Initializes the driver, reads the NMEA version, and enables the NMEA output.
void application_init ( void )
{
log_cfg_t log_cfg; /**< Logger config object. */
mosaic_cfg_t mosaic_cfg; /**< Click config object. */
/**
* Logger initialization.
* Default baud rate: 115200
* Default log level: LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG
* @note If USB_UART_RX and USB_UART_TX
* are defined as HAL_PIN_NC, you will
* need to define them manually for log to work.
* See @b LOG_MAP_USB_UART macro definition for detailed explanation.

LOG_MAP_USB_UART( log_cfg );

log_info( &logger, " Application Init " );

}
mosaic_log_app_buf( );
mosaic_clear_app_buf( );

mosaic_send_cmd( &mosaic, MOSAIC_CMD_GET_NMEA_VERSION );
mosaic_wait_prompt( &mosaic );
mosaic_log_app_buf( );
mosaic_clear_app_buf( );
Delay_ms ( 100 );
mosaic_enable_nmea_output( &mosaic, MOSAIC_SNO_MESSAGES_GGA, MOSAIC_SNO_INTERVAL_SEC1 );
mosaic_wait_prompt( &mosaic );
mosaic_log_app_buf( );
mosaic_clear_app_buf( );
Delay_ms ( 100 );
log_info( &logger, " Application Task " );
}
Reads the received data, parses the NMEA GGA info from it, and once it receives the position fix it will start displaying the coordinates on the USB UART.
void application_task ( void )
{
mosaic_process( &mosaic );
if ( app_buf_len > ( sizeof ( MOSAIC_NMEA_GGA ) + MOSAIC_GGA_ELEMENT_SIZE ) )
{
mosaic_parser_application( app_buf );
}
}
The full application code, and ready to use projects can be installed directly from NECTO Studio Package Manager(recommended way), downloaded from our LibStock™ or found on Mikroe github account.

- MikroSDK.Log
- Click.Mosaic
Additional notes and informations
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need USB UART Click, USB UART 2 Click or RS232 Click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. UART terminal is available in all MikroElektronika compilers.
