Professor GPS Module: RGM-3000/REB-3000 series  
Operational Manual  
Introduction  
RGM-3000/REB-3000 series is the third generation of Professor GPS Receiver. The GPS receiver is  
powered by SiRF Star II technology and Professor proprietary navigation algorithm that providing you  
more stable navigation data. The miniature design is the best choice to be embedded in a portable  
device like PDA, mobile phone, person locator and vehicle locator. It supports TricklePower function  
which can be enabled by external command for power saving. The excellent sensitivity of RGM-3000  
gets the great performance when going though the urban canyon and foliage.

data to user written software. The default  
setup is NMEA Output, 4800bps, 8 data bits,  
no parity, 1 stop bit. The default sentences  
are GPGGA, GPGSA, GPRMC once per  
second and GPGSV once per 5 seconds.  
This is the main power supply for the Engine  
board. The power range is from 3.3V 10%,  
ripple 200mV. The maximum current of  
RGM-3000 is 200mA.  
GND  
Please refer to “software interface” for the  
detail protocol.  
GND provides the ground for the Engine  
board. Connect all grounds.  
RXA  
This is the main receiving channel and is  
used to receive software commands to the  
Engine board from user written software.  
Please refer to “software interface” for the  
detail protocol.  
VBAT  
This is the battery backup supply that  
powers the SRAM and RTC when main  
power is removed. The input voltage level is  
from 2.1V~3.6V. Max current draw is 10 uA  
at 3.3volt. Without an external backup  
battery or on board battery, engine board will  
execute a cold start after every turn on. To  
achieve the faster start-up offered by a hot  
or warm start, either a backup battery must  
be connected or battery installed on board.  
TXA  
RXB  
This is used for DGPS differential input .  
BOOTSEL  
Pull Bootsel pin high & reset , then it will get  
to boot mode.

GPS Receiver User’s Tip  
1. GPS signal will be affected by weather and environment conditions, thus suggest to use the GPS  
receiver under less shielding environments to ensure GPS receiver has better receiving performance.  
2. When GPS receiver is moving, it will prolong the time to fix the position, so suggest to wait for the  
satellite signals to be locked at a fixed point when first power-on the GPS receiver to ensure to lock  
the GPS signal at the shortest time.  
3. The following situation will affect the GPS receiving performance:  
a.  
b.  
c.  
d.  
e.  
Solar control filmed windows.  
Metal shielded, such as umbrella, or in vehicle.  
Among high buildings.  
Under bridges or tunnels.  
Under high voltage cables or near by radio wave sources, such as mobile phone base  
stations.  
Bad or heavy cloudy weather.  
f.  
4. If the satellite signals can not be locked or encounter receiving problem (while in the urban area), the  
following steps are suggested:  
a. Please plug the external active antenna into GPS receiver and put the antenna on outdoor or the  
roof of the vehicle for better receiving performance.  
b. Move to another open space or reposition GPS receiver toward the direction with less blockage.  
c. Move the GPS receiver away from the interferences resources.  
d. Wait until the weather condition is improved.

5. While a GPS with a backup battery, the GPS receiver can fix a position immediately at next power-on  
if the build-in backup battery is full-recharged.
