Integration

The following pages contain dedicated instructions for integrating necessary components for GOBI with a variety of sufficiently tested aircraft.

GRYFN Gobi integrates the Freefly Smart Dovetail for both mechanical mounting and electrical connection on all aircraft integrations. Developed by Freefly, in conjunction with Pixhawk, to become the new standard for payload mounting with Pixhawk Payload Bus interfaces, used on nearly all Pixhawk and Ardupilot based flight controllers.

Please see Freefly's own words below, but do note that this dovetail is not hotswappable. Therefore, the payload should be attached to the aircraft before being powered, and not removed from the aircraft until after power is turned off.

No hotswap protection. Do not mate or demate Smart Dovetail while the aircraft is powered.

If the payload has even modest capacitance or other inrush current the connector contacts on both aircraft and payload side will be eroded.
