Info

The "MK-GNSS V4 + compass" is a new GPS-receiver with integrated compass.

Also new are a master and a slave connection.
So you can use the MK-GNSS single or with redundant electronic in your MikroKopter.

Beside the usual American GPS satellites, the European Galileo system, the Russian Glonas satellite systems or the Chinese BeiDou satellite systems can be received.

For suppressing external interference sources (e.g. video systems), the GPS receiver has been equipped with an RF preamplifier, and a SAW RF Filter.

The MK-GPS is required for functions like

• PositionHold (or PH)

• ComingHome (or CH)

• Waypoint flight (Waypoints)

• Save the route to SD card in a LOG File

• View the current position on the 'OSD' map in the KopterTool-MAP

• Display distance and speed in the Graupner HoTT-Telemetry

• Aligning a camera at a certain point: PointOfInterest

All functions that you can use with the navigation system on your MikroKopter, are described here: MK-Funktion

• Shoplink: MK GNSS V4 + Compass

• INFO:
  You can use the MK-GNSS V4 only with a MikroKopter Software from version V2.18!

  You have to clear the old "SETTINGS.INI" on the microSD-card in your copter.
  A new "SETTINGS.INI" with the right settings for the new MK-GNSS will be created automatically.

Connection

Connect the MK-GNSS via the Molex-connection "Master-GPS" and "Master-Compass" with your FlightCtrl V3.0.

If your MikroKopter use a redundant electronic you can connect the Molex-connection "Slave-GPS" and
"Slave-Compass" with the second "Slave"-FlightCtrl V3.0.

If you use an older hardware with single FlightCtrl / NaviCtrl on your copter you can connect the
"Master - GPS" with your NaviCtrl.

If your MikroKopter use a redundant electronic you can connect the Molex-connection "Slave-GPS" with the second "Slave"-NaviCtrl.

INFO:
The connection "Master-Compass" and "Slave-Compass" is here not needed because the NaviCtrl use her own compass.

Satellite selection

With the MK-GNSS you can receive the satellite systems GPS, Glonass, Galileo, BeiDou and the Japanese QZSS_system.

So you have much more satellites for a much better navigation (especially in areas with inadequate GPS coverage).

In the "SETTINGS.INI" on your microSD-card you can set which satellite you want to use.
With a text editor, this file can be opened and edited.

Via he value for GPS_SYSTEM_CFG you can change the receiving:

• 1 = GPS + Glonass + Galileo (Default)

• 2 = GPS + BeiDou

• 3 = GPS
• 4 = Glonass

• 5 = BeiDou

• 6 = GPS + Glonass
• 7 = Galileo

In addition, the Japanese QZSS_system can be activated / deactivated via GPS_QZSS_DGPS_ON :

• 0 = OFF (Default)
• 1 = ON
