Where to get NT Modules

Pre-assembled, ready-to-use NT modules became recently available commercially. Also, the widely available CC3D Atom can easily be converted into a NT IMU module by simply flashing the appropriate firmware.

The list of vendors below is collected solely for your convenience! It is NOT an official seller list, nor implies any recommendation. The list may not be complete, the order of vendors is arbitrary, and vendors not mentioned are equally trustworthy.

ENSYS NT Modules

ENSYS provides a selection of different NT modules, ranging from NT Imu modules, NT Motor modules, to own creations like the NT Led-Battery module. The ENSYS NT modules are mostly based on a LPC1111 micro controller, and use their own firmwares. For further details, please visit their web page.

NT Logger

Comment: The widely available OpenLog data logger and its many derivatives, which have become popular with Beta/Clean/Race/etc-Flight, cannot be used. In fact, to the best of the firmware author's knowledge, none of the available data loggers can be used. So, if you find a logger then assume it doesn't work, unless it is specifically declared as NT logger.

CC3D Atom

The Open Pilot CC3D Atom can be used as NT IMU module, when flashed with the respective NT firmware. With the pin headers stripped off, it is also relatively small.

The Mini CC3D is even smaller, without the need of hardware modifications. Unfortunately it can be first-time flashed only via SWD, and a ST-Link programmer is additionally needed for converting it into a NT IMU module.

Both boards are available cheaply from various Asian sources, and of course also at somewhat higher prices in many "regular" shops.

Cables and Connectors

Unfortunately I don't know about a cheap and readily available source of suitable pre-configured cables with plugs. The 1 mm JST has however become kind of a standard in the RC world, and used for e.g. flight controllers, gimbal controllers, etc., which gives options.

Some options:

• ReadyToFlyQuads/witespy: [1]. Explore the shop carefully and study the various options for configuration which are offered, with the right clicks it actually has some good deals.
• Viacopter: [2]
• Goodluckbuy: [3]. The silicon wires are not as flexible as for other imu module wires, but in lack of better options OK. Quite expensive.
• Flyduino: [4]
