MONKEY 2010 Navigation Platform

The MONKEY 2010 navigation platform has been improved from the original!  Monkey 2010 still provides an integrated ARM processor and high performance GPS unit on a miniature platform (1.75” x 3.25”) that can fit into just about any application.

Note:  JTAG cable ordering is no longer an option.  Standard Cortex M3 connector works with any JTAG M3 capable debugger.

Note2:  USB converter option is serial port to USB converter for easiest communication to Monkey.

· Active on board antenna for increased sensitivity and jamming reduction

· RS-485 driver on board for spare port

· Barometric pressure sensor

· Spare analog and digital I/O ports

· Isolated PWM servo outputs

· Micro SD Card

· USB power and interface

· Three status LED’s (red, green, blue)

· JTAG interface (tested with Rowley Crossworks)

· Serial boot loader

· Interfaces with CHIMU module for attitude estimates and sensor inputs via SPI or UART

MONKEY 2010 Navigation platform

NOTE:  This unit is intended for developers.

Currently, MONKEY is operational and has been used for specialty applications.  The ability to run your source code with our libraries allows you to host user code on the platform.  The unit is shipped with basic code installed that passes CHIMU and GPS data out the main serial port.  Other functions may be implemented in the base code that ships at the time of order.
