HBS RM3100 DroneCAN Magnetometer
Dedicated magnetic sensing, directly on DroneCAN.
A compact RM3100 compass node with onboard AP_Periph, dual CAN ports and clear axis markings.
Note 1: Install the board in a magnetically quiet location and use non-magnetic mounting hardware near the sensor.
The HBS RM3100 DroneCAN Magnetometer combines PNI three-axis sensing with an STM32L431 AP_Periph bridge and CAN transceiver. Its 28 × 28 mm footprint, dual JST-GH ports and selectable termination make remote placement and bus integration straightforward.
What this enables
- Dedicated X, Y and Z RM3100 induction coils.
- Integrated DroneCAN bridge with dual daisy-chain connectors.
- Compact 28 × 28 mm footprint for remote placement.
Best fit for
- DroneCAN-based UAS and robotics platforms.
- Airframes that separate the compass from motors and power wiring.
- Programs seeking Canadian-designed flight electronics.
Capabilities
RM3100 three-axis sensing
A PNI RM3100 ASIC and three induction coils provide dedicated X, Y and Z sensing.
Integrated DroneCAN bridge
STM32L431 AP_Periph bridges the sensor to a TCAN332 CAN transceiver.
Compact remote placement
The 28 × 28 mm board can be positioned away from motors and power wiring.
Daisy-chain connectivity
Two side-entry JST-GH ports carry power and CAN through the node.
