# 3. V3.2 GNSS (ZED-F9P) MAG BARO with EXTERNAL ANTENNA hardware
Multi-band GNSS receiver delivers centimeter level accuracy in seconds.
The ZED-F9P positioning multi-band GNSS and real time kinematics (RTK) technology in a compact form factor, to deliver centimeter-level accuracies in seconds for the industrial navigation and robotics markets. ZED-F9P concurrently uses GNSS signals from all four GNSS constellations (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). GNSS signals from multiple frequency bands (L1/L2) combined with RTK technology enables fast convergence times and reliable performance for scalable applications, including robotic lawnmowers, unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAV), and semi-automated or fully automated machinery.

Connectors
The node has 3 connectors which are described in the table below.
№ | Connector | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | CAN1, CAN2 | Devices that deliver power to the bus are required to provide 4.5–5.5 V on the bus power line, 5.0 V nominal. Devices that are powered from the bus should expect 4.5–5.5 V on the bus power line. The current shall not exceed 1 A per connector. |
2 | CAN3, CNA4 | Can be powered from 5.5 to 30 volts and connected to CAN bus |
3 | SWD | STM32 firmware updating using programmer-sniffer. |
4 | DEBUG | Debug connector matches with Zubax probe (opens new window) |
5 | CC | Camera capture port can be used to receive external interrupt from camera trigger and send timepulse to payload such as autopilot |
6 | MCX | To be used with external active antenna |

# Housing
The casing can be downloaded from GrabCAD (opens new window) and printed in ABS or PLA plastic. The housing consists of two parts: top and bottom. It can be assembled using M2 L=10mm (opens new window) screws DIN 912 (ISO 4762) and Bras Hot Melt Insert Nut (opens new window). The assembled unit can be fixed with double-sided tape or with M2 L=12-20mm (opens new window) screws.

# 3.5. Power Supply Recommendations
Device is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 4.5 V and 5.5 V over CAN1 or CAN2 connector, or 5.5 - 30 V from CAN3,CAN4. This input supply must be able to withstand the maximum input current and maintain a stable voltage. The resistance of the input supply rail should be low enough that an input current transient does not cause a high enough drop that can cause a false UVLO fault triggering and system reset. The amount of bulk capacitance is not critical, but a 47-μF or 100-μF electrolytic capacitor is a typical choice.
