RTKBase: a GUI for your own Gnss Base Station

Exentler · 20 April 2023 20:32

You can install a older version and upgrade via web ui.

The raspberry pi and orange pi images are available with RTKBase 2.4.1 : GitHub - Stefal/rtkbase: Your own GNSS base station for RTK localization with a Web GUI

I got it, thank you. Another doubt. Does anyone use the TouchGUIRTKLIB System? It works? Or does it have to be updated?

@andyinv
thanks for the clear explanation. just have a question. am now at the file service step. I set it to 7 and turned it on. when I look at the log now I don’t see a folder yet, but the ubx and the tag. Is this right or is it wrong. I’ve been logging in for about half an hour now.

andyinv · 8 May 2023 21:20

That’s right, look tomorrow when the logs roll over. There’ll be a zip file there. Note that you’ll need a full 24hrs worth of logs.

Is there a function to enable a fan depending on the raspberry pi temperature using the gpio pins and also a flashing led when the correction is being sent.

Jussi · 13 May 2023 12:23

Thank you for the great Base software! Any chance of allowing to use 1007 message @Stefal? Apparently my Fendt with Topcon receiver requires that also, at least according to the previous owner. It gets the correction, but doesn’t go to rtk fix without the 1007. I know that it is almost the same than 1008, but I need to have both because of the receiver “bug”.

Hi Stefan98
have a look @ Fan control GPIO settings - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange
It looks like it should be easy, good luck

I know its possible, im just curios does the RTKBase supports it (does it have the code for a fan). I really don’t want to add the code myself because when the base updates i will have to add the code to a new version. Im using an orange pi zero lts.

Kim_SE_Denmark · 14 May 2023 08:50

Do you need a fan, what kind of temp do you see?
After a quick look @ raspi config - Lower temperature for GPIO fan turning on - Raspberry Pi Stack Exchange
No additional should be necessary edit /boot/config.txt and add line

dtoverlay=gpio-fan,gpiopin=x,temp=50000
replace x with the gpiopin the fan control is connected to

This will make it come on at 50C.
My RTK setup is mounted in the attic, this is what I for temps right now.

No FAN, No heat-shink.

Thank you very much.

Hello!
I’m trying to make base station, for the first time…
I have raspberry 3b+ and I have 2023-02-28-RTKBaceGNSS on sdcard. Also I have ardusimple basic starter kit. I plugged raspberry to screen and opened it. To “basegnss login:” i write " basegnss". Next it is asking password put I can not write enything there. “_” is blinking put nothing comes to screen when I try to write. Is basegnss! the password? Also I tried to make !-mark put i didn’t find it. Shift + 1 normally does it but not now. I tried all coMbinations I could imagine.

andyinv · 17 May 2023 08:42

Should be basegnss! as you say, and it won’t appear there when you type it. Try using ssh instead?

north · 17 May 2023 17:24

Thanks a lot!!! I managet to do it with putty so ! and ~ marks where they are supposed to be in my keyboard!

edit: I tried to do this as reply to andyinv’s post, but atleast I see it as new post, not as reply. Do you know hat I did wrong?

Stefal · 17 May 2023 17:51

In most cases, there is no need to connect to a terminal, the main functions are accessible from the web interface.

andyinv · 17 May 2023 17:56

Default locale may be FR, perhaps ?

I have new Raspberry 3 B+ and new sd card.

My next problem if wifi connection. Running with putty. In “sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf” I set country, ssid and psk. After that ctrl + x, y, sudo reboot. After that I tested if I could connect without lan-cable, no luck. After that test i looked if router sees it, it does not.
I run “sudo raspi-config”, in there “1 System options” and “S1 Wireless Lan”. Then I get these two errors “No wireless interface found” and “There was an error running option S1 Wireless LAN”
In “sudo rfkill list all”
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
In “sudo iwlist wlan0 scan” I see my wifi

Eny ideas? I have been googling this for some time, but can not find the right answer. I`am a first timer so maybe that is the reason nothing goes the easy way with these projects…

andyinv · 18 May 2023 21:07

My rpi won’t connect to my 5G band wifi, will to my 2.4 tho. That your issue perhaps?

Also, on an orange pi with not-quite-the-right image the other day, it wouldn’t even recognise the wlan adapter, but everything else was fine. Sounds like you’re past that issue tho.

Hi North
“sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf” this is correct.
When done editing the file save the file with ctrl + o to write the file before ctrl + x, y.
then reboot
