配置
You can use the Hawk A1 as either main (primary) or secondary GPS system. The PX4 parameters should be set as below for each case.
Main GNSS
To use the Hawk A1 your main GPS device:
| Parameter | 值 | 描述 |
|---|---|---|
| GPS_1_CONFIG | 102 (Telem 2 or another available serial port) | Configure main GPS port |
| GPS_1_PROTOCOL | 1 (u-blox) | Configure GPS protocol |
| SER_TEL2_BAUD | 230400 | Configure the serial port baudrate (here the GPS is connected to TELEM2 for instance) |
Secondary GNSS
To use the Hawk A1 as an auxiliary GPS device (in addition to the main GPS):
| Parameter | 值 | 描述 |
|---|---|---|
| GPS_2_CONFIG | 102 (Telem 2 or another available serial port) | Configure main GPS port |
| GPS_2_PROTOCOL | 1 (u-blox) | Configure GPS protocol |
| SER_TEL2_BAUD | 230400 | Configure the serial port baudrate (here the GPS is connected to TELEM2 for instance) |
接线和连接
The Locosys GPS comes with an 6-pin JST-GH Pixhawk-standard connector that can be inserted directly into either the GPS1 UART port (or GPS2 UART ports from Pixhawk FMUv5).
