A Compact, Robust RTK GNSS Puck

DroneCAN H-RTK F9P Rover: Genuine Holybro Hardware

This is a genuine Holybro module — “DroneCAN F9P” is clearly printed on the puck itself. Compared to Holybro’s Helical variant of the same GNSS module, the Rover trades the tall helical antenna for a flatter, more compact ceramic patch antenna design with an integrated 42cm cable running straight to the CAN connector — a simpler mounting profile that suits builders who don’t need the helical antenna’s extra reception gain in obstructed environments.

Underneath, it’s the same core positioning capability: a u-blox ZED-F9P receiver tracking GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS simultaneously, delivering roughly 0.01m RTK accuracy once correction data is available. DroneCAN communication at 1Mbps keeps the connection noise-immune and frees up a UART port on your flight controller, while an exposed UART2 port supports Moving Baseline GPS heading if you pair it with a second compatible GNSS receiver. The kit includes a fixed carbon-fiber mount, so you have what you need to get it installed cleanly on your airframe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s different between the DroneCAN H-RTK F9P Rover and the Helical variant?
The Rover uses a flatter ceramic patch antenna with an integrated 42cm cable, while the Helical variant uses a taller helical antenna with somewhat better reception in obstructed environments. Both share the same u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS core and DroneCAN connectivity.
Why use DroneCAN instead of a standard UART GPS connection?
DroneCAN runs over a 1Mbps CAN bus, offering better noise immunity than UART and not occupying one of your flight controller’s serial ports.
What’s included in the kit?
The DroneCAN F9P Rover module (with its integrated 42cm cable) and a fixed carbon-fiber GPS mount for installation.
Does this support GPS-based heading (Moving Baseline)?
Yes — a UART2 port is exposed specifically for Moving Baseline dual-antenna heading/yaw setups, in addition to the primary DroneCAN connection.
Is this compatible with PX4 and ArduPilot?
Yes, both are fully supported via DroneCAN.
What’s the operating voltage and temperature range?
4.75-5.25V input at approximately 250mA, with an operating temperature range of -20°C to 85°C.
