# Freefly Systems RTK GPS

The Freefly Systems RTK GPS Module (opens new window) is a multiband RTK GPS module from Freefly Systems that provides highly reliable navigation. The modules can act as either rovers (when installed on an aircraft) or base stations (when plugged into a computer).

Main features include:

  • Multiband (L1/L2) receiver (u-blox ZED-F9P)
  • Concurrent reception of all 4 GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou)
  • Built-in magnetometer (IST8310), baro (BMP388), RGB LED, safety switch and safety LED

注解

This module can be used with PX4 v1.9 or above (support for the u-blox ZED-F9P was added in PX4 v1.9).

# Where to Buy

# Kit Contents

An RTK GPS kit includes:

  • 2x GPS modules with antennas
  • 3m USB C to A cable
  • Magnetic quick-mount for base station module (1/4-20 thread for tripod mounting)
  • Screws to mount onto a Freefly AltaX

# 配置

RTK setup and use on PX4 via QGroundControl is largely plug and play (see RTK GPS for more information).

For the aircraft, you should set the parameter SER_GPS1_BAUD to 115200 8N1 to ensure that PX4 configures the correct baudrate.

# 接线和连接

The Freefly RTK GPS comes with an 8 pin JST-GH connector that can be plugged into a PixHawk autopilot. For use as a base station, the module has a USB-C connector

# 针脚定义

The Freefly GPS pinout is provided below. For some autopilots, like the Hex Cube and PixRacer, all that is needed is a 1-1 8-pin JST-GH cable.
