EULER-NAV Aided INS Light

Miniature GNSS-aided Inertial Navigation System

Summary

EULER-NAV Miniature Aided INS Light is the same hardware as the EULER-NAV Baro-Inertial AHRS. The device can receive GNSS position and velocity information from up to 3 external GNSS receivers and fuse it with IMU mesurements to provide continuous and reliable position, velocity, and attitude information.

External GNSS data input via CAN

EULER-NAV AINS Light receives GNSS data in the form of the following CANaerospace frames at maximum 10Hz. "Redundancy channel" value equals to 0, 1, and 2 for the first, the second, and the third external GNSS receivers, respectively.

1036 + 65536 * (Redundancy channel)­ GPS aircraft latitude­ deg DOUBLEL/DOUBLEH
1037 + 65536 * (Redundancy channel)­ GPS aircraft longitude deg DOUBLEL/DOUBLEH
1038 + 65536 * (Redundancy channel)­ GPS aircraft height above ellipsoid­ m FLOAT ­
