Veronte MEX is a powerful peripheral to ease the reduction of wire in autonomous vehicles at the time it allows to increase in the number of devices in the system. It makes possible to relocate and to group sensors, actuators, payloads, motor controllers… enhancing the I/O connectivity in the Veronte Autopilot.
Veronte Mex includes a magnetometer, which detects the direction and strength of a magnetic field, including the earthly field, which allows obtaining altitude and orientation references. Its easy integration makes MEX a quick solution for increasing connectivity capacity.
Extended I/O
With Veronte MEX, the data capacity for input and output in Veronte Autopilots is increased in a great manner. The advanced design makes it possible to control several peripherals (PWM, UART, Digital Output, I2C, Analog Inputs…) through the CAN Bus.
It can be used for both, expanding the I/O capacity in Veronte Autopilot, and for controlling peripherals with a robust communications protocol. If needed, multiple Veronte MEX boards can be installed in the same network for increasing the number of I/O ports or because of system architecture needs.
Magnetometer
Using technology magneto-inductive with 3 sense axes, the internal magnetometer allows to measure differences of altitude and orientation. The geomagnetic sensor technology provides high resolution, low power consumption, large signal noise immunity, a large dynamic range and, high sampling rates. Measurements are stable over temperature and inherently free from offset drift.
