8.2 GPS Module Installation
GPS module including a flat-GPS passive antenna. This is a sensitive antenna for
GPS signals, while false signals reflected from the ground is effectively filtered out. Install
the GPS unit horizontally. Keep metal objects and other conductive materials such as
carbon fibre away from the GPS unit. Additionally no transmitting antenna should be
around the GPS antenna. The communication link antenna (Data Radio) or your video
transmitter should be kept as far away from the GPS unit as possible.
8.3 Power Management Module Installation
The power management module is used to connect the power battery and ESC,
which integrates a current sensor, can measure the power current and voltage, the
internal integrated DC-DC module will output a stable voltage which about 5.3V to power
on PandaⅡ . But the power management module can not power on the servos, The
servos still need through the ESC from S3 port or external power source from P2 port to
power on.
8.4 Data Radio Module Installation
The Data Radio module should placed away from the GPS module , PandaⅡ
module and the servos as far as possible, in order to avoid the disruption of these
devices. The Data Radio antenna should be vertically up or down when you install it .
Certain frequency bands from the Data Radio can interfere with servos due to
electromagnetic emission. To resolve this issue either avoid placing the Data Radio
transmitter close to sensitive components or use a magnetic core (as shown below) to
reduce the interference.
