Technical
| Connects | MagDrone R3 external GPS input to the SkyHub GPS-out interface |
| Data from SkyHub | NMEA sentences RMC, ZDA and GGA |
| Position source | The drone's GNSS receiver, via SkyHub |
| MagDrone R3 versions | From serial number SN000200 (built-in GPS plus external GPS input) |
What is the MagDrone R3 GPS cable used for?
The SENSYS MagDrone R3 (from serial number SN000200) has a built-in GPS and an input for an external one. SPH Engineering recommends the external configuration for better geotagging of the data, especially when the R3 flies with SkyHub on an RTK-equipped drone.
This cable carries that external position feed. SkyHub takes coordinates, date and time from the drone and sends them to the R3 as NMEA RMC, ZDA and GGA sentences.
