MicoAir MA-RTK-AIR-F9P GNSS Module with Compass

The MicoAir MA-RTK-AIR-F9P is an L1+L2 RTK rover built on the u-blox ZED-F9P with an onboard IST8310 compass. It is for ArduPilot and PX4 survey, mapping and agri drones that need centimetre-level positioning. A quad helix antenna and cables are in the box.

Key features

• Dual-band reception on GPS, BeiDou, GLONASS, Galileo and QZSS

• 1.0 cm + 1 ppm RTK accuracy, 1.5 m standalone

• IST8310 compass on I2C, so a single module handles both position and heading

• ArduPilot and PX4 detect and configure it automatically, like a standard u-blox GPS

• SMA antenna port and JST-GH data connectors

For an RTK fix it needs RTCM corrections from a base station or NTRIP, sent through the ground station and telemetry link.
