RTKBase: a GUI for your own Gnss Base Station

If I set the Skytraq as rover, the output is then NMEA. Can the raspberry do something with that and make the correction and put it out as RTCM?

163

I believe you need the raw measurements to create RTK correction data.

Letā€™s say a+b=c
RTK needs a and b
nmea is c

So no, nmea is unuseful.

RTKBase 2.3.0 is available!

Changelog

[2.3.0] - 2021-07-08

Added

  • New local Ntrip Caster service to use RTKBase as a standalone NTRIP Caster.
  • GUI ā†’ Status: New OrthoHR aerial imagery layer, covering France only.
  • GUI ā†’ Status: Realtime and static base position stay both visible on the map.
  • GUI ā†’ Status: Solution status is displayed next to coordinates.
  • GUI ā†’ Settings: Service status are updated in realtime, and painted with orange/red in case of restart/failure.
  • GUI ā†’ Settings: Display Cpu temperature.
  • GUI ā†’ Settings: Display uptime.
  • GUI ā†’ Settings: Display storage informations.
  • GUI ā†’ Settings: Tooltips to display some help about each services.
  • GUI : Auto reconnection with the web server after a RTKBase update or a server (SBC) reboot.

Changed

  • Default antenna value sets to ā€˜ADVNULLANTENNAā€™ instead of ā€˜NULLANTENNAā€™.

Fixed

  • Rtkbase was deleting old archives when remaining space was lower than 5GB instead of 500MB. And now you can change this value inside settings.conf . #132
  • rtkrcv configuration was hardcoded with ubx input, now it uses the format set on GUI ā†’ Settings ā†’ Main. #148
  • Only .ubx files were archived. Now archive_and_clean.sh script check for all files format managed by str2str. #158
  • The 2.1.x to 2.2.0 upgrade created a wrong path inside str2str_rtcm_serial.service (/var/tmp/rtkbase)
  • rtkrcv didnā€™t always stop after the 1O mn timeout. #35

Security

  • Cryptography module updated to 3.3.2
  • Eventlet module updated to 0.31.0

I did the update but the raspy temperature does not appear, neither does the storage, do I have to change any configuration?

Odd, works for me, also the uptime figure.

168

I have a raspberry pi 4, could that be?

Just wanted to thank you for this project. Got my Base up and running in notime and its been online for a couple of months without any problems other than those of rtk2go.
I have one question: would it be possible to access the web ui of my Base from outside of my local network? For example if Iā€™m out in the Field.

175

With port forwarding you could but you would run the risk of someone else getting access to it. Better would be to use a reverse proxy with encryption but thatā€™s beyond most peopleā€™s expertise.

Or use a self hosted VPN, even better.

#RTKBase 2.3.1 is available, with some bugfixes for the local ntrip caster. You can update from the web interface.

[2.3.1] - 2021-07-25

Fixed

  • Local ntrip caster was not started with the right user/password syntax. #166
  • Local ntrip caster service was not restarted after new settings were set. #167
  • Psutil python requirement could not be installed on Os already including it (like Raspberry Pi Os with desktop). #165

Hi there, nothing important but Iā€™ve lost the OpenStreetMap background image on the status page. Any idea what could cause this, is it only me? The status page launches with the ā€œglobal viewā€, showing country borders but nothing when is zooms to the base position.

Iā€™m running 2.3.1 and Iā€™m sure it worked after the latest update. I donā€™t think Iā€™ve ever before tried the Ortho HR (Fr) option, thought it should not cover my position outside France.

Hi!
Youā€™re right, there is a problem with the Osm tile provider. Iā€™ll contact them. Thanks for reporting this.

How did it go

Has someone experience on network config on the flashable basegnss image? Iā€™m running a wlan and a Huawwei E3372 4G dongle, all works fine with the network setup but linux is sending all the traffic over wlan0 interface. So I can only access GUI and the data streams on the wifi network. No sudo availabe, so cannot change the ip tables to force trafficā€¦ The 4G dongle shows up as a regular ethernet device on eth0.

Also Iā€™m running a perl script for DDNS update, maybe that could be a thing to integrate into RTK base? Not that expert with DDNS so donā€™t know how much changes are needed it to run on any DDNS service.

I cannot help with your configuration but I started with the pre-installed image and updated it gradually to the current version. Iā€™m using the Raspberry LAN port to access my home network and in this case GUI access via VNC works fine over Ethernet.
