ARK RTK GPS

General

The Dronecan RTK GPS, Magnetometer, Barometer, IMU, Buzzer, and Safety Switch Module is DIU Blue UAS Framework Listed and runs PX4 Open Source Firmware. It supports Dronecan Firmware Updating and features an open source schematic and BOM.

The module includes a Ublox F9P GPS receiver for L1/L2, offering centimeter-level positioning in seconds with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou support. Additional sensors include a Bosch BMM150 Magnetometer, Bosch BMP388 Barometer, and Invensense ICM-42688-P 6-Axis IMU. The STM32F412CEU6 MCU controls the module’s functions.

It features LED indicators for Safety, GPS Fix, RTK Status, and RGB System Status, and is built in the USA and FCC compliant. Power requirements are 5V with 170mA average and 180mA maximum. The package includes a 4 Pin Pixhawk Standard CAN Cable and a Dual Band (L1/L2) Helical GPS Antenna. Alternative antenna options are: Tallysman 33-HC882-28, Taoglas AA.175.301111, Taoglas A.80.A.101111, Linx ANT-GNRM-L12A-3, and Ublox ANN-MB-00-00.
