Arkbird
- 2 -
Notes:
Airborne module superimposes GPS information on both video and audio. The Ground module
calculates out the pointing angle after Demodulation.
Wiring should be done according to the instructions
(audio channel connection is not necessary).
If the LE
D
lights flash normally on the airborne and ground module (indicates that communication is normal) and valid GPS
signal is identified, the ground module will automatically save the coordinates as launch point and shift into
tracking mode.
