Open source INS/GNSS navigation development board Pellicanus [Copy link]

 

Pellicanus is an open source, RP2040-based INS/ GNSS module that you can program in MicroPython, C, or Rust. It allows you to add Vertical Reference Units (VRU), Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS), and INS/ GNSS functionality to a variety of platforms: cars, drones, self-driving cars, and anything else you need to track. We designed Pellicanus as a 33x30 mm toothed module that can be easily integrated into your project. We also provide a carrier board with various interfaces so that you can evaluate the module and start developing right away.

Pellicanus is open hardware driven by open source software. The board is designed in KiCAD and comes with a preloaded loosely coupled extended Kalman filter (EKF). The algorithm can be modified!
