Sentera Single Hardware Integration
You can easily integrate the Sentera Single Sensor with a wide range of systems. These include interfaces to power the camera, as well as external devices that can be powered by the camera. Supported devices include:
- Lockheed Martin Kestrel autopilot (3.3V UART)
- Pixhawk autopilot (3.3V UART)
- MAVLink based systems (3.3V UART)
- Sentera based systems (100Base-T Ethernet)
- GPS based triggering/metadata (PWR and 3.3V UART)
- Sentera Light Sensor (3.3V I2C)
- Customized ICD options available upon request
You can purchase camera cable interfaces directly from Sentera. Major suppliers also offer pre-terminated cables/contracts that allow you to create cable installations to suit your specific requirements.
J1 - Ethernet
Connector J1 is a 100Base-T Ethernet interface that can be used for all camera functions as detailed below. Most standard interfaces do not require the Ethernet interface. You can also use the J1-Ethernet interface to access the camera's microSD card when the device is on the ground.
