SkyHub
The SkyHub + True Terrain following solution (with Nanorarad 24ghz) is a hardware and software set designed to enhance the capabilities of standard commercial UAVs for industrial purposes and to support the integration of various sensors.
Thanks to this kit it is possible to integrate on DJI Matrice 300/350 Drones or on our X1000 Pro RTK Sensors such as:
- Georadar “GPR” (Zond and Cobra)
- Magnetometers (Sensys and Geometrics)
- Echosounder for Beatmetry (single and dual frequency)
- Methane detection sensors (Laser Falcon)
Thanks to the Terrain Following combined with the skyhub it will be possible to set up very low altitude missions and the drone will follow the terrain profile while maintaining the desired altitude from 0.5mt to 50mt and beyond. (Needed for all Geophysical applications where the sensor needs to stay as close to the ground as possible during flight
SkyHub is an on-board computer to record georeferenced data from various sensors such as GPR, altimeter, magnetometer, echo sounder or methane detector.By Default, SkyHub comes with mounts and cables for the drone DJI M300/M350 RTK or X1000 Pro RTK. Mounts and cables for other drone types are available upon request.
Applications
- Custom integration of payload with drone
- Advanced UAV flight control scenarios.
- Using drones in an adverse environment
Functions
- Fully insulated and ESD-protected exterior of interfaces
- Industrial connectors
- Selectable power output (9 V / 12 V / 15 V /18 V)
- Passing power from drone to payloads
- 3×UART / 1x RS-232 / 1x UART/RS-232 combined / 2× USB
- Ethernet / Wi-Fi / Bluetooth Interfaces
- 4 GPIO pin pairs for general purpose Input Output
- Protection against input power inversion
- Extended operating temperature range from -25°C to +50°C
Interfaces
The SkyHub 3 device provides a connection
to different payloads through different interfaces:
- 3× UART interfaces
- 1× UART/RS-232 interface
- 1× RS-232 interface
- 4 GPIO pin pairs
- Ethernet interface
- Bluetooth interface
- 2×USB 2.0
Power Outputs
SkyHub 3 eliminates the need for a separate battery or power circuit for the sensors.
Each connector with communication ports has pins with +5V and +12V that cover 99% of the power requirements for the sensors.
An additional power connector is configurable and can provide 9, 12, 15,18 V with maximum load of 5 A
Led Connections and Indicators
