Note

The receiver may be connected/disconnected only when the system is powered off.

GNSS Output sends messages containing RMC, ZDA, and GGA sentences in NMEA format to the defined address.

Coordinates, date, time, and other information for NMEA sentences are received from the drone (UAV).

Used for SenSys MagDrone R3, SenSys MagDrone R4, and other payloads requiring GNSS output.

  • Attach your MagDrone or any other supported payload to the drone.

  • Connect the GNSS data transfer cable to the SkyHub Connector #5 (blue).
