GNSS Output

Caution

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.

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).

Power on the system.

  • Establish either the drone link or auxiliary connection with the SkyHub in the UgCS-CPM software.
  • On the main screen of the UgCS-CPM, click on the “Payloads” button.
  • From the available payload list, enable the “GNSS output”.
  • Press the “Save” button and confirm system reload.

Wait until the reload process is finished and the connection to the SkyHub is reestablished.

  • To access the configuration menu, on the main screen of the UgCS-CPM, click the “Settings” button.
  • From the drop-down widget list, select the “GNSS output”.
