This is an old revision of the document!


The antenna ground box provides access to the antenna on the vessel from a laptop or tablet running QGroundControl. The station is composed of

In addition it is possible to connect via the FTDI UART/USB cable with and without power from the 24V system. The router can also be connected with an ethernet cable to have wired access to the telemetry data.

Connections

  • 24V power supply from Ship (max. 3A / 6V-38V InputRange)
  • Antenna cable with N connector for the Taoglas antenna
  • Ethernet cable for wired access
  • FTDI UART/USB cable for direct wired access

Jumpers

  • Power Switch: Use Power from D24V50F5 DC/DC Converter (Jumper Left) or the USB Power via FTDI Cable (Jumper Right)
  • Data Switch: Route the Telemetry RADIO TX/RX to Ethernet (Jumpers Left) or to the FTDI Cable (Jumpers Right)

Mechanical

The electronics is in a Spelsberg box with 300x300x180mm and pole mounting.

  • GEOS MSS-30 Masthalterung mit Schraubschellenset SRS 60-90 und SRS 90-150 und einer
  • GEOS-L EP-3030 Montageplatte mit (NOT USED)
  • GEOS MH-22 Halterset (WRONG!!! This is too long and probably useless)
