The data processing is performed by the NXP LPC4000 series MCU. Using the supplied library and the GNU ARM toolchain, custom firmware can be created. On delivery, the PCAN-GPS is provided with a demo firmware. Source code and further programming examples are included in the scope of supply.
Position and orientation data via CAN
The PCAN-GPS from PEAK-System determines position and orientation data by means of various sensors, which can be transmitted on a CAN bus and logged on the internal memory card. A satellite receiver, magnetic field sensor, accelerometer, and gyroscope are available. The satellite receiver can handle GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, QZSS, and SBAS.
