Connections
Power
The RTrak-HAB can be powered with any 5.5-12 VDC source. The LDO (Low Dropout
Regulators) used allow for the tracker to be powered from battery for lightweight
payloads.
The connector is a three position solder pad connector suitable for direct soldering or a
pin header for quick disconnect.
GPS RF
The GPS RF connection is a standard polarity, SMA female RF connector suited to mate
with the included GPS active patch antenna. Be sure to tighten antenna connector finger
tight. DO NOT use a wrench to torque the connector tight. This is not needed and risks
damage to the connector or main RTrak-HAB board.
Radio RF
The radio RF connection is a standard polarity, SMA female RF connector. Be sure to
tighten antenna connector finger tight. DO NOT use a wrench to torque the connector
tight. This is not needed and risks damage to the connector or main RTrak-HAB board.
Programming Port
The programming port is a four pin header that mates with the included serial
programming cable. Remove the shorting block when attempting to plug the serial cable
in for programming. Ensure the unused contact of the plug is on the “D” pin.
Important: When the RTrak-HAB is not being programmed, the included jumper block
must be in place over the first two pins marked “D” and “R”, in order for the GPS data to
be passed to the OpenTracker 1+!
