PCAN-GPS FD
Position, motion and heading sensors you program yourself, with CAN FD
The PCAN-GPS FD combines a satellite receiver, a three-axis magnetic field sensor, an accelerometer and a gyroscope with an NXP LPC54618 microcontroller. The controller processes the sensor data and sends it over CAN or CAN FD.
You write your own firmware in C or C++ with the supplied GNU development package and example programs, then load it into the module over CAN. Out of the box it runs a standard firmware that sends the raw sensor values on the bus at fixed intervals.
Highlights
- u-blox MAX-M10S receiver: GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS, SBAS and QZSS
- Receives 4 navigation systems at the same time
- Magnetic field sensor, gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer (ST)
- Freely programmable Arm Cortex-M4 (NXP LPC54618)
- CAN FD data phase up to 10 Mbit/s
- Button cell keeps the RTC and GPS data for a faster first fix
Programming
- Windows development package with GCC ARM Embedded and programming examples
- PEAK-Flash for Windows 11 (x64/ARM64) and Windows 10 (x64) loads new firmware over CAN
- Standard firmware on delivery sends the raw sensor data periodically
