Description

ArduSimple GNSS Compass Starter Kit is a standalone set including a dual antenna GPS/RTK receiver and two lightweight GPS/RTK antennas.

Out of the box, the kit is able to calculate the true north / heading, with an accuracy below 0.1 degrees. The kit doesn’t require calibration, and doesn’t have drift, unlike IMU- and magnetometer- based systems.

The kit is ideal to complement autopilots to get YAW information, in addition to position information.

The kit also provides position using GNSS technology, down to 1 meter of error when used standalone, and down to 1 centimeter of error when connected to a RTK base station.

This tripleband GPS kit can be used standalone connected to a PC or powerbank. And is also fully compatible with Arduino, STM32 Nucleo, Raspberry Pi, Nvidia Jetson, ROS and Pixhawk / Ardupilot.

Includes:
– 1 simpleRTK3B Compass board (UM982)
– 2 RTK tripleband + L-band external helical GNSS antenna with SMA connector
– 2 SMA antenna RF cable extender 0.5 meter
