Overview
The YARI F10N GNSS is a dual-band, standard-precision positioning and navigation module for DroneCAN-capable Pixhawk and ArduPilot systems. Rev 2 integrates a u-blox NEO-F10N L1 + L5 receiver, magnetometer, barometer, safety switch, buzzer, and status LEDs published over DroneCAN. It supports GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and NavIC (IRNSS); it does not support GLONASS or provide RTK centimeter-level positioning.
Key Features
- GNSS receiver: u-blox NEO-F10N standard-precision dual-band (L1 + L5) receiver with concurrent GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, and NavIC (IRNSS) support. Includes anti-jamming/spoofing features and RF interference mitigation.
- Antenna: Taoglas ceramic patch antenna, compact 25 × 25 × 6 mm footprint, optimized for L1 and L5 bands, providing reliable signal quality in challenging environments.
- Enhanced RF front end: The F10N’s internal RF chain uses an L1/L5 dual-band diplexer SAW filter, LNA, and second-stage SAW filtering, plus an LTE Band 13 notch filter on L1. This SAW–LNA–SAW architecture with built-in LTE suppression rejects out-of-band signals and boosts GNSS sensitivity without requiring external RF components.
- Sensors: iSentek IST8310 magnetometer and Bosch BMP581 barometer.
- DroneCAN peripheral firmware: Open-source, plug-and-play operation with Pixhawk, Cube, Durandal, and any DroneCAN-compatible flight controller.
- Built-in safety and feedback: Tactile safety button, buzzer, and multiple status LEDs for satellite fix, system status, and safety.
- USB-C port: Direct u-center 2 access without opening the enclosure.
- Standard Pixhawk connectors: 1× CAN (4-pin JST-GH), 1× Debug (6-pin JST-SH), and 1× USB-C.
