Purchase and Options
Option(s)
The Nav Board uses a Ublox LEA-5H GPS, ITG-3200 rate sensors, HMC 5843 magnetometers and LIS3LV02DQ accelerometers.
Processor on board is an LPC 1343 from NXP. The processor can be disabled so off board processors like the SRV from Surveyor Corporation can access all the sensors via I2C.
Nav Boards boards are now back in stock!!
