## **Data Stream Rate Settings (Telemetry 2)**

To receive essential positioning and status information:

* `SR2_POSITION` = `10` → **GPS Position**
* `SR2_EXT_STAT` = `2` → **GPS Lock Status**

***

## **GPS Configuration via CAN**

If using a UAVCAN GPS unit:

#### **CAN Port Driver Enable**

* `CAN_P1_DRIVER` = `1` → **Enable CAN1**
* `CAN_P2_DRIVER` = `1` → **Enable CAN2**

#### **GPS Type Selection**

* `GPS_TYPE` = `9` → **UAVCAN GPS**

***

## &#x20;**Notification LED Settings**

* `NTF_LED_TYPES` = `231` → **Enable Standard Notification LEDs**
