My base station hasn’t shown any satellites on the web interface for about six months. I haven’t had time to look into why that is. But the base station itself is actually running just fine. Both radio and ntrip working. So I haven’t worried about it.
Granted I’m still running an old version of RTKBase.
Hi !
RTKBase version 2.6.3 is almost ready. I’ll need testers, especially for updating from an older version of RTKBase. Procedure:
Changelog :
I am willing to test 2.6.3 on my test base stations. I have two runing rtkbase 2.6.2 um980 branch on a rasberry pi 4b and an orange pi zero 3 with um980 recivers attached to both via uart.
The page http://your_base_ip/settings?update=manual_page doesn’t seem to come up for me on my 2.6.2 install.
I tried installing over my 2.6.2 install via
cd ~
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stefal/rtkbase/dev/tools/install.sh -O
install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
sudo ./install.sh --all repo --rtkbase-repo dev
but it was still showing 2.6.2 on the bottom of the screen. So maybe i am missing something.
Also, if you could add ttyS5 for the orange pi zero 3 that would be great. I enabled 2 and 5 in the overlays but could not get 2 workig. 5 is right next to the PWR/GND so that is the most logical place to hookup the uart connections.
So far the orage pi zero 3 on 2.6.2 I would have good gnss data for around 5 days then the quality would decrease and then i would have to manually reboot it. Maybe this is something that has been fixed in 2.6.3.
Hi @Stefal
Will rtkbase run on a Raspberry Pi 5?
Maybe a stupid question but I only see mention of RP4 and orange pi.
Currently pi5 are easiest to source for me.

Did you replace ‘your_base_ip’ with your base ip ?
Hmmm, that’s strange. It looks like a hardware issue with the receiver.
Do you see the same behaviour with your 2 UM980?
It should.
Done !
I ended up re-imaging both the test raspberry pi 4b and orange pi zero 3 with a um980 and both saw and configured the um980 successfully on the latest dev version.
So far the signal quality has improved around 3% from previous versions of rtkbase on both setups. Almost approaching x5 level performance in my opinion.
I will continue to monitor for reliability on my particular hardware design.
Made some videos showing how to put up your own base:
Part1: https://youtu.be/fdhNE5D1g9w
Part2: https://youtu.be/vgqqXpgIloQ
To update your base, just press the “Check update” button on the “Settings” page, and wait for a few minutes.
Hi! Can skytraq receivers be installed in the program? Quite a few people use skytraq receivers as base stations.
RTKBase won’t detect and configure a skytraq Gnss receiver, but you can set it manually to output a rtcm3 stream, and it should work.
hi,
When programming the RTKbase to record the base signal and create an archive, the file service does not generate a .ZIP file.
Do you have any ideas about the problem plz?
How would a software update improve accuracy with all of the same hardware? Also, how are you coming up with these numbers?
Quality on the depin gnss project onocoy states that my quality has gone from a high of about .93 to .968 not a huge difference. Could also be a change to onocoy’s quality metric algorithm.
Raspberry 4b and orange pi zero base stations continue to perform well on the new code.
That’s a head scratcher. I have no idea what they mean by “quality.”
The zip file is created nightly. You’ll need to provide useful information if not (screenshots etc)
SD card full ?
Hello Stefal
Are there a log of failed login attempts on port 2101? if not any idea how I can achieve this, I want to use “fail2ban” to automatic logout bad actors, I have other rpi exposed to web with one open ports and after
Up time 402 days = 61000 + login attempts.
regards form
Kim
If you use an external caster, you don’t have to open the port 2101.
If you use the internal caster, take a look at the local caster service logs :
journalctl -u str2str_local_ntrip_caster.service
