Product overview
The Rctimer NEO-6M GPS module & MAG v1.2 combines a u-blox NEO-6M receiver and HMC5883L compass for integration with Arduflyer, APM, Fixhawk and Pixhawk autopilots. Its architecture includes a built-in 25 x 25 x 4mm ceramic patch antenna with active circuitry, an LNA and SAW chip, a 3.3V low-noise LDO regulator, and an EMI-protected TTL UART port. A 32k I2C EEPROM stores configuration settings, and power and fix LEDs provide status indication.
The module measures 40 x 40 x 9mm and has mounting holes with a diameter of 3.1mm. Its weight specification is 17g/20g, with cable included in the latter figure. The package contains one GPS and compass module and two 300mm cables: one 1.25-6P-to-4P+5P APM/MAG cable and one 1.25-6P-to-1.0-6P miniAPM/MAG cable. Installation with Fixhawk or Pixhawk requires changing the relevant plug shell from five positions to six positions.
The GPS receiver features a 5Hz update rate. Its default configuration uses NMEA protocol, a baud rate of 9600, a 1Hz navigation rate and a 1Hz TIMEPULSE at the fix LED. Connection to an Arduflyer, APM, Fixhawk or Pixhawk autopilot automatically changes the parameters to UBX/38400/4Hz. The module includes a rechargeable backup battery for warm starts; its component features also specify 3V rechargeable backup capacitors.
