GNSS and Compass DroneCAN Node

GNSS and Compass DroneCAN Node

Meter-accurate position and sub-degree orientation

Introducing the GNSS and Compass DroneCAN Node, an extremely compact meter-accurate navigation system. Featuring the DAN-F10N Dual Band (L1/L5) GNSS receiver and the RM3100 magnetometer in a  32 x 23 mm form factor. Plug-and-Play with DroneCAN connectivity into any of your ArduPilot or PX4 projects.

This module is assembled in the UK and the PCBs are manufactured in Europe. Components are sourced selectively to ensure supply chain robustness.

Product Details

u-blox DAN-F10N dual-band GNSS (L1 + L5): 1.5 m CEP positioning (1.0 m with SBAS), with backup power for fast restarts in seconds. Tracks GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS and NavIC.

PNI RM3100 magnetometer: high-accuracy, low-noise heading, capable of sub-degree accuracy once calibrated.

ST STM32L431 microcontroller: 256 KB flash, running ArduPilot AP_Periph for plug-and-play DroneCAN.
