Altimeters¶

Lidar¶

The integration between Veronte Autopilot 1x and a lidar is performed using a variety of interfaces depending on the lidar device. The most common interfaces are I2C or analog although serial or CAN bus can also be used if the lidar is compatible.

Lidar Garmin Lite v3¶

Lidar Garmin Lite v3 sensor integrates with Autopilot 1x via I2C connection.

../../_images/lidar_garmin_connection.png — **Lidar Garmin Lite v3 - Autopilot 1x wiring diagram**¶

Important

To ensure correct operation of the device, it is recommended to use an external power supply and not to connect it to the 3.3-5 V lines of Autopilot 1x.

Please note that it shares signal ground with Autopilot 1x.

Autopilot 1x harness			Lidar Garmin Lite v3 connector
PIN	Signal	Color code	PIN	Signal	Color code
31	I2C_CLK	White	4	I2C SCL	Green
32	I2C_DATA	Brown	5	I2C SDA	Blue
35	GND	Gray	6	Ground (-)	Black

Warning

Remember!! In Autopilot 1x, all GND pins are common. Note that pin 54 is not a common GND pin.

Once the lidar is connected, the user must proceed to its software integration with Veronte Autopilot 1x by referring to the Lidar Garmin Lite v3 - Integration examples section of the 1x PDI Builder user manual.

Lightware LW20 Lidar¶

PIN	Signal	Color code	PIN	Signal	Color code
31	I2C_CLK	White	2	SCL	White
32	I2C_DATA	Brown	1	SDA	Yellow
35	GND	Gray	8	GND	Black

Warning

Remember!! In Autopilot 1x, all GND pins are common. Note that pin 54 is not a common GND pin.

Once Lightware LW20 Lidar is connected, the user must proceed to its software installation with Veronte Autopilot 1x by referring to the Lightware LW 20 Lidar - Integration examples section of the 1x PDI Builder user manual.

Lightware SF20 Lidar¶

Important

To ensure correct operation of the device, it is recommended to use an external power supply and not to connect it to the 3.3-5 V lines of Autopilot 1x.

Please note that it shares signal ground with Autopilot 1x.

Autopilot 1x harness			Lightware SF20 Lidar
PIN	Signal	Color code	PIN	Signal	Color code
31	I2C_CLK	White	2	SCL	White
32	I2C_DATA	Brown	1	SDA	Yellow
35	GND	Gray	8	GND	Black

Warning

Remember!! In Autopilot 1x, all GND pins are common. Note that pin 54 is not a common GND pin.

Once Lightware SF20 Lidar is connected, the user must proceed to its software installation with Veronte Autopilot 1x. Since this setup is the same as for the Lightware LW 20, please refer to the Lightware LW20 Lidar - Integration examples section of the 1x PDI Builder user manual.

Radar¶

Radar altimeters are common devices on aircrafts.

Ainstein CAN Radar¶

Ainstein CAN Radar sensor integrates with Autopilot 1x via CAN connection.

../../_images/ainstein_radar_diagram.png — **Ainstein CAN Radar - Autopilot 1x wiring diagram**¶

Important

To ensure correct operation of the device, it is recommended to use an external power supply and not to connect it to the 5 V line of Autopilot 1x.

Please note that it shares signal ground with Autopilot 1x.

Autopilot 1x harness			Ainstein CAN Radar
PIN	Signal	Color code	PIN	Signal	Color code
25	CANA_P	White-Black	2	CAN_HI	Green
28	CANB_P	Yellow-Green	2	CAN_HI	Green
26	CANA_N	Brown-Black	3	CAN_LOW	White
29	CANB_N	Pink-Green	3	CAN_LOW	White
30	GND	Yellow-Pink	4	Ground	Black

Note

CAN A and CAN B buses are equivalent and can be used interchangeably for the integration of this device.

For more information on CAN connection, please visit CAN - Wiring connection section of this manual.

Warning

Remember!! In Autopilot 1x, all GND pins are common. Note that pin 54 is not a common GND pin.

Once Ainstein CAN Radar is connected, the user must proceed to its software installation with Veronte Autopilot 1x by referring to the Ainstein CAN Radar - Integration examples section of the 1x PDI Builder user manual.
