Overview
The CUAV C-Compass is an external compass (high-precision magnetometer) built around the RM3100 magnetic sensor for Pixhawk and PX4 controller ecosystems. It uses DroneCAN/UAVCAN bus communication and is compatible with ArduPilot and PX4 platforms, with a built-in STM32F4 processor running CUAV M4C software architecture for stable heading measurement in electrically noisy airframes.
