Description

Missing serial ports? You won’t with the DroneCAN M9N GPS Module. It’s the Gordon Ramsay of the UAV world, freeing up your ‘kitchen’ for the real business of flying. Trust us, it’s a recipe for airborne success!

Detailed Information

As the poet Longfellow wrote, “The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight.” Drone enthusiasts, tinkerers, and FPV aficionados, you know he might as well have been talking about us, right? Building, tweaking, refining – that’s our climb to greatness. Today, we bring you a quantum leap in that ascent – the DroneCAN M9N GPS Module.

We know the drill. You’re up late, squinting at complicated diagrams, slogging through poor communication protocols, and wrestling with electromagnetic interference. It’s enough to make you feel like you’re piloting your UAV through a meteor shower!

Losing a precious serial port on your flight controller to accommodate subpar GPS modules? How about those inconsistent and unreliable connections that turn your dream flight into a game of chance? We hear you. Enough is enough!

Enter the DroneCAN M9N GPS Module, a veritable Swiss Army Knife for your UAV, courtesy of Holybro. With the exceptional UBLOX M8N or M9N module and an impeccable BMM150 compass, your navigation woes are over! With its built-in STM32G4 Processor, this little genius will power your drone like the rocket fuel in Elon Musk’s Starship.

Oh, and let’s talk about the jewel in this crown – the DroneCAN protocol for communication. You’ll get reliability that’s off the charts, and no more worries about electromagnetic interference. Plus, kiss goodbye to sacrificing your serial ports, because this GPS module doesn’t need them. You can hook up multiple CAN devices to the same CAN bus with a CAN splitter board.

Now that we’ve fired up your curiosity, here’s a glance at the key product highlights you’re going to love:

  1. Unbeatable Accuracy: With an impressive 2.5m positional accuracy, and 0.05 m/s speed accuracy, say hello to pinpoint precision.
  2. Exceptional Frequency Band: From GPS: L1C/A, GLONASS: L10F, Beidou: B1I to Galileo: E1B/C, the DroneCAN M9N is all about world domination.
  3. Power Efficiency: Less than 200mA @ 5V power consumption ensures your flight time gets a handsome boost.
  4. Stunning Design: With a sleek diameter of 54mm and a lightweight 36g, your drone won’t even know it’s there!

Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned pro, if you’re looking to buy a GPS module for your drone, the DroneCAN M9N GPS Module is an essential upgrade. Just when you thought your UAV couldn’t get any better, along comes this gem to blow your mind!

Remember, the only difference between flight and plight is one little letter. So, let’s get rid of that ‘L’ for ‘Lousy GPS’ and soar to new heights with our DroneCAN M9N GPS Module. As always, for more in-depth tech specs, don’t hesitate to buzz over to our Holybro docs.

Why DroneCAN?

Beneath the bonnet of our impressive DroneCAN M9N GPS Module lies the heart of its genius: the unrivalled DroneCAN protocol. It’s a protocol that truly makes our module the Usain Bolt of UAV navigation.

The DroneCAN is not just a CAN protocol. It’s the CAN protocol, reigning as the prime choice for ArduPilot and PX4 projects when it comes to smooth communication with CAN peripherals. It’s not just us saying that; ask any UAV builder worth their solder, and they’ll tell you the same!

What makes it so good, you ask? It’s simple. Openness. Just like a picnic on a sunny day, DroneCAN offers open communication, specification, and multiple open implementations. That means no pesky locked doors or exclusive clubs, just pure, open-source goodness to play around with.
