- -
- access point to access mavlink via Wifi
In addition it is possible to connect via the 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)
