RTKBase: a GUI for your own Gnss Base Station

But I would still like to know if the RCTM are created in the raspberry or the UM.

Both. RTKBase convert the rtcm messages from the UM980 only if it is needed.

@Pat

Also does the UM make MSM7 or only MSM4?

MSM7

You can ignore the gpsd error if your base station is connected to internet.
For the dbus service, I have to investigate.

It means open a browser on another computer. A laptop or desktop. Raspberry pi typically doesn’t use a screen or a keyboard and mouse in these kinds of applications. It’s a server.

Thank you all, I have it working now. Connected and on rtk2go.com. I am thinking I would prefer a local caster, I have input the information into the RTKbase, how to I connect the rover? What IP or url do I use?

[Pat]

You need to open the correct port on your router and enter the public IP it use.
Check this:

Connecting to base station without static ip

Hello, I am new here. I am planning to build gps for my tractor. But I can’t seem to find simple information on connecting base station to the rover without using port forwarding because I don’t have static ip. I’ll be using two Ardusimple ZED-F9P Also, are there any alternatives to raspberry pi as base station, because they’re expensive right now. What do I need to do? Please help, spring is coming.

If you have more questions about networking consider starting a new tread as it is not directly related to RTKbase.

Hello, I just finished setting up the base staion. Orage Pi Zero 3 with Ardusimple F9P.
Went through the setup as descibed on Centipede.

I got the calculatef Coordinates back from NRCAN.

The problem I have is that My Mount Point shows no coordinates.

Any suggestions?

F9P firmware maybe, it running on 1.32.

Where is it that your mount point does not show co-ordinates? In rtk2go? In rtkdata.online? In RTKBase? (RTKBase doesn’t use the term “Mount Point”).

In RTKBase you need to manually enter base coordinates. Have you done that? You would use the calculated coordinates you received back from NRCAN.

This works really well, great vids

Hi,

I use EMLID and RTKDATA ONLINE.
On Emild my Mount Point is shown but it does not show the coordinates of the base station, same in RTKDATA.

When selecting a base staion in AG Open it shows the nearest base station. Thats where I check, and when I loookup the caster list on EMLID.

I did enter the coordinates from NRCAN in the settings page and clicked save.

[JohannesBe]

I noticed the casters with coordinates show RTCM 3.3 messages, where my MP shows RTCM 3 messages.

[JohannesBe]

it seems to work with RTKDATA Online now. now sure what was going on with Emlid.
I seems Eml8d is looking for 1006 wich the F9P doesnt send.

[WildBuckwheat]

RTKBase will send 1006 if it’s in the settings. I believe it’s a default setting. I believe rtkbase generates the 1006 message from the F9P’ 1005 message and from the antenna height defined by Antenna info (usually ADVNULLANTENNA).
