LED Functions
Timepulse (yellow)
Flashes at 1Hz 50% duty cycle when the GPS receiver has a lock, the falling edge of the output is precisely synchronised with the second boundaries of GPS time. I.E. the LED is lit for the second half of each second.
Trigger (blue)
When the trigger LED is on the triggered output is active
SBAS (yellow)
Indicates the SBAS correction status of the GPS solution. Not currently implemented.
Error (red)
Flashes to indicate different error conditions. The error conditions corresponding to the number of flashes are given in the table below. More than one error can be present at one time, for example a series of 3 flashes followed by 4 flashes would signify both error conditions 3 and 4 are present.
