TS100(M8N) Introduction

RadioLink M8N GPS TS100 benefits from 22+ years of professional wireless experience of RadioLink engineers, exceeding the limitation of IC sensitivity index from circuit schematic design to PCB placement.

50 centimeters of position accuracy. Positioning 20 satellites in 6 seconds at open ground. Industry-leading valley station-keeping ability.


TS100(M8N) is compatible with the flight controller RadioLink PIX6, CrossFlight-CE, CrossFlight, F405, F722, CrossRace Pro, CrossRace, Mini Pix, and PIXHAWK (the multi-copter/helicopter firmware after V3.5.4 version, the fixed-wing firmware after V3.8.0 version). Other flight controllers are also compatible with TS100(M8N).




TS100(M8N) Configuration

GPS decoder chip: Radiolink M8N GPS, with u-blox UBX-M8030(M8), 72-channel, is much better than a single GNSS 7N.

Built-in electronic compass VCM5883L.

Antenna: 2.5dbI high-gain and selectivity ceramic chip antennas.

Double Filter: SAWF (Surface acoustic wave filter) from Murata.

50 centimeters of positioning accuracy.

Positioning 20 satellites in 6 seconds at open ground.

Super positioning capability even at the valley bottom.

Support multiple positioning systems, GPS, GLONASS L10F, QZSS L1 C/A, BeiDou B1; dual-mode operation is available.

Dual-frequency: 1575±1MHz、1602~1610MHz.


Parameter

Positional Accuracy: Up to 50 centimeters with Dual Modes/250 centimeters with Single Mode

Protocol: Default NMEA

                     But when connecting the TS100(M8N) to the flight controller, it will recognize the type of flight controller and turn the protocol to the same protocol as the flight controller automatically. When the TS100(M8N) disconnects from the flight controller, the protocol will turn back to the default NMEA.

Positioning Indicate

Humanized positioning green LED indicates. The green LED will flicker when the TS100(M8N) has achieved positioning.




Compass Calibrate

Please use Mission Planner

Arrows show the front, pointing in the same direction as the flight controller.

Keep the same direction as the flight controller.




Compass calibration (using version 1.3.39 of Mission Planner), please choose Pixhawk/PX4 if you use it with the flight controller MINI PIX or PX4.




Calibrate like this picture shows, and click Done to finish the calibration. Click OK to save the settings.
