AiM GPS09C Open Module
The system
The GPS09C Open features three output streams:
- Open CAN connection. Freely user configurable
- Open RS232 connection. Freely user configurable
- AiM CAN connection. To be connected as expansion in the AiM CAN network
The module comes with a 7-pin connector, as shown in fig 1, to which you may
connect the proper cable, in dependence upon the connection you need to
manage:
Configuration
In order to configure the GPS09C Open, you need to connect it to your PC using
the proper cable:
After having connected the GPS09C to your PC USB cable, you have to run our
software RaceStudio3 and use the configuration manager for configuring it.
CAN Bus connection
If you select the CAN Open stream, you may configure the CAN messages you
need.
It is possible to set the baud rate for the CAN bus and, for every message:
- ID
- DLC (1- 8 bytes)
- Bye order (little endian, big endian)
- Message frequency (1-5-10-25 Hz)
The information the GPS09C Open may transmit in CAN are:
- Altitude
- Latitude
- Longitude
- Sats number
- Pos Accuracy
- Speed Accuracy
- GPS Lateral acceleration
- GPS Linear acceleration
- GPS Heading
- GPS Yaw rate
- GPS Hour
- GPS Min
- GPS Sec
- GPS Millisec
- Year
- Month
- Day
- Week number
- ITOW
- Unix Time
RS232 Messages
If you set the GPS09c in order to transmit the data through the RS232, it will
transmit the standard NMEA messages.
It is of course possible to set all the parameters related to the RS232 protocol, and the frequency at which every message is transmitted.
The messages the system may transmit are:
- NMEA DTM
- NMEA GBS
- NMEA GGA
- NMEA GLL
- NMEA GNS
- NMEA GRS
- NMEA GSA
- NMEA GST
- NMEA GSV
- NMEA RLM
- NMEA RMC
- NMEA VLW
- NMEA VTG
- NMEA ZDA
- NMEA TXT
The meaning of all these NMEA messages is described in www.nmea.org
AiM CAN connection.
In case you need to connect the device in an AiM CAN Network, you have to
select AiM CAN Connection:
the device is automatically managed by the AiM dash or Logger, so you don’t
need to configure anything else.
