Matek Systems- AP_PERIPH CAN Node CAN-G474
Introducing the CAN-G474, the ultimate adapter node for enthusiasts and professionals. Embedded with the cutting-edge ArduPilot AP_Periph firmware, this board stands as a robust cornerstone in building or upgrading your drone’s functionality.
Technical Marvel for Enhanced Drone Operations
At the heart of CAN-G474 lies the powerful STM32G474CE microcontroller, equipped with 512KB of flash memory, ensuring swift and reliable processing capabilities. This adapter node isn’t just smart, it’s fast. With a CAN transceiver boasting data rates up to 5Mbit/s and the capability to support CANFD, high-speed communication within your UAV system is a breeze.
Specifications:
-
Dual CAN Bus System: Manage complex setups with ease.
-
Four UARTs & Two I2C Buses: Connect a wide array of peripherals including GNSS, rangefinders, and more.
-
Single SPI Interface: Designed specifically for peripherals like the RM3100, with dedicated SPI pads located on the underside for a clean, efficient setup.
-
Eleven PWM Outputs: Whether it’s servos or ESCs, all PWMs support DMA/DShot for precision control.
Optimized for ArduPilot Software
Leverage the ArduPilot driver library seamlessly. The CAN-G474 transforms supported peripherals — from GNSS and compasses to electronic fuel injectors — into DroneCAN bus peripherals. This makes integrating multiple devices into your drone ecosystem as simple as plug-and-play.
Built Tough for Unrelenting Performance
Designed to perform in the most demanding environments, the CAN-G474 operates within a temperature range of -30 to 85 °C. It’s not just tough, it’s compact and lightweight too, making it an ideal choice for any drone build.
