Holybro DroneCAN M8N/M9N GPS Compass Module w/ Mount
£97.90 Inc. VAT
This GPS module connects to FCs via DroneCAN communication protocol.
The Holybro DroneCAN M8N or M9N GPS is a affordable & high performance GNSS system. Built with CAN protocol and equipped with STM32G4 processor, it provides fast processing speed and great reliability. By adopting the DroneCAN protocol for communication it does not occupy any serial port of the flight controller and different CAN devices can be connected to the same CAN bus via a CAN splitter board. Furthermore, CAN bus deals better with electromagnetic interference compare to a serial connection. It also has built-in an BMM150 compass and tri coloured status LED. It runs on a Chibios real-time operation system. Its open source design is ideal for developers who need special requirements on their navigation system.
