We have designed a boat which is over 4 meters long and can have a weight of 350 kg. I have a GNSS (http://navsys.no/produkter/gnssgps/altus-nr3), is it possible to connect this to the autopilot somehow? Perhaps through a laptop onboard the boat?
As long your selected GPS provides the following signals, it should work. the manual is in Norwegian, I think…I will need few cold beers before I can read it :). I always wanted to visit Norway. my cousin teaches at a University there.
You need;
TX
RX
GND
SCL
SDA
Power I would be careful powering directly from pixhawk as I am not sure what the power draw is of your GPS. So provide power separately.
Hello
Thank you so much for the information.
We are currently using a Here+ GPS, however, the precision (and some problems with the compass unit) makes this other GNSS more desirable (centimeter precision).
Which university? I currently work at the University in Stavanger
Is it possible to get an extended cable for the Here+ GPS? 1-2 meter long?
