Nesis III User's Manual
2.1 Components in the Nesis System
Electronic Compass (called MAGU) is a stand alone
unit which measures magnetic field vector. It serves
as a gyro stabilized compass and provides true and
magnetic heading with high accuracy. It features
an intelligent calibration algorithm, where only one
known magnetic direction is needed to calibrate it.
MAGU provides heading information on the CAN
bus. With this information available, wind direc-
tion and wind speed is also derived by AIRU unit.
Tail install and nose install versions of MAGU exist.
When two servo units (called SERU) are added to
the CAN bus, the system also performs the autopi-
lot function. Two different SERU units are avail-
able. Stronger and heavier has 6 Nm (53 in lb)
torque, while the lighter and weaker has 3 Nm (27
in lb) torque.
Remote autopilot panel (called AMIGO) brings fur-
ther enhancements to the autopilot functionality.
It allows very simple and straightforward autopilot
operation.
One or two remote control handles (called JOYU)
can be added to the system. The handle allows al-
most complete control of the Nesis display with the
buttons on the top. Buttons are fully configurable
by Nesis. When BOXI unit is also present, it can
also drive roll and pitch trim, radio transmission
button (push-to-talk).
Trim and radio controller called (BOXI) must be
used together with a JOYU handle. You can con-
nect two trim motors to BOXI and then use JOYU
handle to drive them. In addition, radio push-to-
talk wiring can be made directly to BOXI.
