Ok so the main point for myself is ublox is the proprietor of the the ZED-F9P and then there are companies that add this module to their boards such as ardusimple, Amid, sparkfun etc. I just wonder if we go direct to ublox but with caution as their supplied radios are difficult to get working as apposed to ardusimple that seemed to be the cheapest way to get up and running with base station to rover fixed.
Maybe I’m wrong here as the sparkfun seems so attractive with that video demonstration and beautiful enclosure ready to go options.
For myself I would just use the ardusimple or sparkfun board. I don’t know what others think.

Unless you have a specialized pick and place machine, chip soldering oven, and wave soldering table. Buying the evaluation boards is the way to go.

WOW! 5K gives you a pile of time at JLCPCB, but for one off tests soooo very Cool.
Will this be the new sufficient lifestyle, like techno Amish, you can utilize electronics only if you can build them yourself?
How long till we truly get the star trek replicator?

That looks great I’ll take 5

Yes totally agree, somewhere down the track I will get a 3D printer to hold down the boards and make them look like bought ones
Why does the Emlid cost so much more than an ardusimple?
is better?
CMPS14 is in stock at RobotShop.
Good day. Maybe someone bought recently IMU somewhere in EU? Any place have a stock of CMPS14 or BNO? 
Can’t find anything to finish my PCB
Hi
You can find CMPS 14 on GOTRONIC France, I had mine here.
Have a good day Michel

Hi Kaupoi,
I am ordering components from digikey for your 4.1 board using the parts list at your onedrive location. What does it mean when the quantity is listed as 4(+4-8) for item 20 for example in the screenshot below.
On another note are you familiar with JLCPCB PCB assembly service? By any chance you have the required formatted Bill of Materials (BOM) and Component Placement List (CPL) files it require to avail of the service. I can probably extract the BOM from your parts list but if you have one that is formatted already to their specifications, that will be much preferred. Curious as to cost implication if I use the PCB assembly service.
Thanks.
The number of parts needed depends on the type of assembly you plan to build. Few extra nuts and bolts do no harm 
I haven’t used pcb assembly service and I don’t have bom or cpl files, sorry.

Hi!
So I take it in the case of item 20 the minimum is 4 but it will not hurt to to add 4 up to 8.
Thanks.
Hi, im newbie here
I do not have the skills for soldering, so i wanted to ask, maybe someone is selling All in One pcb unit with wiring diagram? im from Europe, Latvia
Some more European shops for electronics:
Similar to Mouser or DigiKey. I think they are located in Poland, but have a couple of sites in other European countries, too.

hi guys…
just wondering what goes on with the rtk corection on the app… basically i have found a base from where i can get correction info for rtk method. this method is applied on agio software? if yes, would i need an rtk ready receiver, why? i mean does the rover have to provide all the same data to the sodtware as the base does for the correction procedure? ( raw data, phase info, carrier info etc?). and another question… i m interest to use the software only for pass by pass line keeping.will i need a cm level accuracy to my real position? in my silly mind if i have a receiver that has a consant offset error i will be constantly be keeping correct distance from my previous line. i know that the programm has much more capabilities with an accurate receiver but i m trying to have a first taste of it with lowest cost possible. thanks in advance
Yes, AgIO is the one in charge of NTRIP RTK. RTK works by the base sending the RTCM data from the base to the rover. AgIO sends NTRIP to the rover receiver over whatever communication you’re using. (USB/ UDP) So yes, you’ll need a RTK capable receiver if you want to get RTK.
But for pass-to-pass, you don’t really need RTK. You’ll have to remember when coming back to the field, that the line will have drifted, and recenter the line.
