Little mobile data but windows likes to update and use up alot of data so you have to select metered connection for that wifi.
I did rtk with 2 ardusmiple kits
The Starter Kit allows simple and fast evaluation of Dual Band GNSS (GPS/Galileo/Glonass/Beidou) RTK technology, based on u-blox ZED-F9P module.
Est. reading time: 1 minute
One kit as rover/tractor
One kit as base station and you need some way of NTRIP server there are some options like
You can make wifi ntrip master from esp32 if you like
I posted this as a reply to another thread but thought it might be worth having it’s own topic.
Looking at the WiFi NTRIP Master and the fact it is basically AFAICS just an ESP32. I’m wondering if it would it be possible to just connect an ESP32 to the xbee socket (to the appropriate pins obviously, nicely marked on the ntrip master) and use the software off ardusimple’s github? I’ve got loads of ESP32’s lying around.
To install a firmware update you use espressif’s flash tool software anyway. …
ESPRTK
Thought id make a post on my base station project for anyone else looking to do something similer.
Ended up using an ESP32, running ESPRTK, an F9P based ardusimple board, and ethernet for connectivity to the caster (Using RTK2GO for now).
Probably simpler now to just use the ardusimple wifi master board plugged into the F9P, but if you want to save a few quid, and do it yourself, here are some photos / video of my project.
I wanted to use ethernet over wifi as I try to avoid wifi on anything …
Raspberry pi base
I made a base station with a SimpleRTK2B and a Raspberry pi 4 running str2str sending corrections to rtk2go and I post here if it can help someone
My Raspberry run with Raspbian
I used this to build and configure str2str
github.com/tomojitakasu/RTKLIB/blob/master/doc/manual_2.4.2.pdf
Section 3.11 and 4.2 to build str2str and appendix A.5 for configuration.
To test (or run) str2str you can use a command like this:
str2str -in serial://ttyACM0:115200:8:n:1:off -out ntrips://:PASSWORD@rtk2go.…
There are SNIP and u-center for windows
And many other ways…
I use u-center as server and caster

I followed this tutorial you have other explanations on that site for this topic. With this you dont have to go with rtk2go you can connect directly to your ip you just have to portforward on ruter. If you dont have static ip its better to go rtk2go way.
many options you need to chose what hardwere you already got or want to buy I have 3 laptops laying around so it was easy choice for me.
