Mounting

Placement and orientation

Mount the unit close to the vehicle’s centre of gravity, level, top side up. The side of the device having the motor/PWM pins should preferably face toward the rear of the vehicle (SD card opening should open towards the left side of the vehicle).

Top view of an airplane with its nose upward: the Karu unit sits level on the fuselage behind the wing, label side up, with the POWER1, POWER2 and FMU PWM OUT edge facing the tail

If the unit cannot face forward, set SENS_BOARD_ROT in PX4 to the rotation you used. The PX4 orientation page lists the values.
