The Holybro DroneCAN GPS has a u-blox M8N or M9N module, BMM150 compass, and tri-colored LED indicator. It has the STM32G4 Processor and adopts the DroneCAN protocol for communication, making it more reliable and better at dealing with electromagnetic interference compared to a serial connection. It does not occupy any serial port of the flight controller, and different CAN devices can be connected to the same CAN bus via a CAN splitter board.
Current and future batch now support software toggle for CAN termination resistance
DroneCAN is the primary CAN protocol used by the ArduPilot and PX4 projects for communication with CAN peripherals. It is an open protocol with open communication, specification, and multiple open implementations.
The DroneCAN project has an active development community.
