The ARK MAG is connected to the CAN bus using a Pixhawk standard 4 pin JST-GH cable. For more information, refer to the CAN Wiring instructions.
Multiple sensors can be connected by plugging additional sensors into the ARK MAG’s second CAN connector.
Reboot the flight controller. The magnetometer will appear as a DroneCAN compass and can be configured via the standard COMPASS_* parameters. See the ArduPilot compass setup guide for calibration and configuration details.
Set the following on the magnetometer and reboot the node. CAN node parameters can be configured using either:
QGroundControl — each CAN node appears as a separate Component X entry under Vehicle Settings > Parameters.
The DroneCAN GUI Tool.
CANNODE_PUB_MAG
1
