HBS F9P RTK GPS DroneCAN
RTK positioning, directly on DroneCAN.
A compact ZED-F9P receiver with onboard AP_Periph, dual CAN ports and moving-baseline support.
Note 1: Moving-baseline heading requires two matching GPS heads, suitable antennas and a rigid, surveyed antenna baseline.
The HBS F9P RTK GPS DroneCAN pairs a u-blox ZED-F9P-05B with an STM32L431 AP_Periph bridge and CAN transceiver. It connects directly to the aircraft bus, supports a second matching head for moving-baseline heading, and provides SMA antenna and USB-C diagnostic interfaces.
What this enables
- Multiband RTK and moving-baseline support through the ZED-F9P-05B.
- Integrated DroneCAN bridge with dual daisy-chain connectors.
- Compact, approximately 40 × 40 mm footprint.
Best fit for
- DroneCAN-based UAS and robotics platforms.
- Dual-GNSS moving-baseline installations.
- Programs seeking Canadian-designed flight electronics.
