C and C++ and is then transferred to the module via CAN. Various programming examples facilitate the implementation of own solutions. On delivery, the PCAN-GPS is provided with a demo firmware that transmits the raw data of the sensors periodically on the CAN bus. The source code of the demo firmware as well as further programming examples are included in the scope of supply.

GNSS receiver must be switched. For a faster position fix after turning on the PCAN-GPS, the internal RTC and the internal backup RAM can be supplied by the button cell. This requires a hardware modification (see section 3.2 Buffer Battery for GNSS).
Z: yaw X: roll Y: pitch Gyroscope axes in relation to the PCAN-GPS casing The covered rotation angle can be determined by integration over time. There are two sensor-internal filters for limitation and damping of output values. They are implemented by configurable high-pass and low-pass.

Axes of the acceleration and magnetic field sensor in relation to the PCAN-GPS casing There are three configurable control lines to adjust the function to the respective application: Data Ready MAG Interrupt_MAG Interrupt_ACC1 Interrupt_ACC2 is not connected to the microcontroller. All connected interrupt lines of the sensor are provided with pull-up resistors.
ID is conceivable here. For a firmware update via CAN, the PCAN-GPS module is identified by a 3-bit ID which is determined by solder jumpers. A bit is set (1) when the corresponding solder field is open (default setting: ID 7, all solder fields open).

Activate coding solder bridges: Risk of short circuit! Soldering on the PCAN-GPS may only be performed by qualified electrical engineering personnel. Attention! Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy components on the card. Take precautions to avoid ESD. 1. Unscrew the two screws.
The receiver for navigation satellites (GNSS) needs about half a minute until the first position fix after switching on the PCAN-GPS module. To shorten this period, the button cell can be used as a buffer battery for a quick start of the GNSS receiver.
3.3 V with at most 50 mA can be switched through the GNSS receiver. The scope of supply of the PCAN-GPS provides an active antenna that is suitable for the navigation satellite systems GPS and GLONASS.
(see section 4.1 Spring Terminal Strip). The firmware in the flash memory is subsequently run. At delivery, the PCAN-GPS is provided with a demo firmware. At a CAN bit rate of 500 kbit/s, it periodically transmits the raw values determined by the sensors. In Appendix D CAN-Messages of the Demo Firmware is a list of the used CAN messages.
5.4 Wake-up If the PCAN-GPS is in sleep mode, a wake-up signal will be required for the device to turn on again. The following subsections show the possibilities.
6 Creating Own Firmware With the help of the development package, you can program your own application-specific firmware for PEAK-System programmable hardware products. For each supported product, examples are included. System requirements: Computer with operating system Windows 11 (x64), 10 (x86/x64)

7. Prepare your hardware for firmware upload like described in section 7.2 Preparing Hardware. 8. Use the PEAK-Flash tool to upload your firmware to the PCAN-GPS via CAN. The tool is either started via the menu Terminal > Run Task > Flash Device or from the subdirectory of the development package.
(* stands for version number), a binary file. You can access all resources of the PCAN-GPS by means of this library. The library is documented in the header files (*.h) which are located in the inc subdirectory of each example directory.
CAN bus with 120 Ohm each. Operating system Windows 11 (x64), 10 (x86/x64) If you want to update several PCAN-GPS modules on the same CAN bus with new firmware, you must assign an ID to each module. See section 3.1 Coding Solder Jumpers.
Pay attention to the proper termination of the CAN cabling (2 x 120 Ohm). 4. Reconnect the power supply. Due to the High level at the Boot connection, the PCAN-GPS starts the CAN bootloader. This can be determined by the status LEDs: Status...
