9.2 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.
9.3 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.
9.4 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.
