All-in-one positioning and navigation node for Pixhawk/ArduPilot systems. Combines a u-blox NEO-M9N multi-constellation single band (L1) GNSS with onboard magnetometer, barometer, IMU, safety switch, buzzer, and status LEDs over DroneCAN. Includes a USB-C connector for direct access to u-blox u-center software for configuration and logging. Suitable for UAVs, robotics, and mapping platforms where robust GNSS and rich onboard sensing are required.
Key Highlights
-
GNSS receiver: Ublox NEO-M9N standard precision meter-level positioning (up to 0.7 m), concurrent GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou, plus anti-jamming/spoofing and RF interference mitigation.
-
Antenna: Taoglas ceramic patch antenna, Optimized for L1 bands, delivering reliable positioning accuracy in a compact 25 × 25 × 4 mm ceramic form factor.
-
RF front end: external dual filters (LNA + SAW) for improved interference rejection
-
Integrated sensors: iSentek IST8310 magnetometer, InvenSense ICP-20100 barometer, InvenSense ICM-42688-P 6-axis IMU
-
Open-source and flexible: runs ArduPilot peripheral firmware over DroneCAN for plug-and-play with Pixhawk and other DroneCAN-enabled flight controllers
-
Safety and feedback: tactile safety switch, buzzer, and LEDs for safety, satellite fix, and system status
-
USB-C port: Access u-center for quick configuration and data access without disassembly
-
Standard connectors: Pixhawk Standard CAN (4-pin JST-GH), Pixhawk Standard Debug (6-pin JST-SH), and USB-C
