Hi everyone,
We're proud to announce that Zubax GNSS 2 is now available. Zubax GNSS 2 is a compact multipurpose high-performance positioning module interfaced via redundant CAN bus, USB, and UART. It includes a state-of-the-art multi-system GPS/GLONASS receiver, a high-precision barometric altimeter, and a 3-axis compass with thermal compensation. Zubax GNSS 2 supports variety of standard protocols, which ensures compatibility with most of existing software and hardware: UAVCAN (over CAN bus), NMEA 0183 (over USB and UART), and u-Blox M8 protocol.
Zubax GNSS 2 is the successor of well-received Zubax GNSS v1; it features an upgraded GNSS receiver (latest u-Blox M8Q), smaller form-factor (55x55 mm), and a higher gain antenna. Like it's predecessor, Zubax GNSS 2 features high noise resilience thanks to the RF shielding and good PCB design.
Our website contains tutorials that demonstrate how to use Zubax GNSS 2 with Pixhawk (PX4, ArduPlane 3.5.1, ArcuCopter master), with GIS software, and with non-UAVCAN enabled systems (e.g. lower-end autopilots).
Features
- Operating temperature: -30 to +60 °C
Sensors
- State-of-the-art concurrent GPS/GLONASS receiver u-blox MAX-M8Q
- Full RF shielding of the GNSS circuits ensures reliable operation in high-EMI environments
- 35 mm high gain patch antenna with large ground plane for reliable reception even in urban canyons
- Analog front end with LNA and SAW ensures high noise resilience
- Backup supercap enables low time-to-first-fix (a few seconds)
- Up to 15 Hz update rate
- High precision digital barometer Measurement Specialties MS5611
- Altitude resolution 10 cm
- 3-axis digital compass with thermal compensation
Interfaces
- Doubly redundant UAVCAN
- Continuous self diagnostic and failure detection outputs
- Configuration
- Can be used in non-redundant mode as well (one interface will be inactive)
- Firmware update
- USB
- NMEA output for all sensors
- Direct access to the u-blox module
- Diagnostics and configuration via command-line interface
- UART
- NMEA output for all sensors

Thank You for explanation.
Best regards,
Serge.
Serge, you can freely re-use our firmware with your custom hardware, as long as you're complying with GPL v3. Cheers!
Приветствую разработчиков GNSS-2. Нам понравился ваш модуль, но мы-бы хотели изготовить его в другом форм-факторе. Последуют ли вогражения от вашей команды (компании) если мы самостоятельно изготовим всю электронную начинку GNSS-2 для своих целей, но сохраним обратную совместимость с вашим программным обеспечением?
С уважением,
747.
Thanks for the quick reply! Really looking forward to it. Would be great if you could drop me a line if you have some units ready for testing.
Thanks for the question Thorsten, there's something like that coming up soon.
Nice design! What about a version with the M8N instead of the M8Q for recording raw GPS data?
Hi William, you need ArduCopter v3.4 at least. Please proceed to the product forums here - https://productforums.zubax.com/viewforum.php?f=4. Thanks!
Justin, it must be a temporary issue, sorry about that. Should be resolved any day, if not already.
