I just switched to rtkdata.online for hosting my rtk base. I feed the f9p into snip via usb then push out to rtkdata.online it seems sometimes i have to restart the connection at the base station or my rover wont recieve any data. Has anyone else had this issue with snip or do you use a different method ?
Which connection do you restart? SNIP pushing data to rtkdata.online, F9P to the “snip computer”, computer connection to internet or…?
If i restart SNIP or the outbound connection it will begin working. Ive also had SNIP run self tests in the data log and that seems to cause connection loss also. I should note, I had this issue with the rtk2go stream as well at that time I assumed it was an rtk2go issue.
I think it is a snip problem, I have a station that is doing the same, have to disconnect and reconnect the push-out stream and it goes again. Needs doing multiple times a day.
Any better caster programs available ?

I have never seen a unwanted stop of demo5 (apart from windows updates)
https://rtkexplorer.com/pdfs/manual_demo5.pdf . I have been using the strsvr part of demo5_33e.
But it seems it has been merged to this one now, if you want something newer.

You mean NTRIP server to push data to a caster?
Why not use SNIP as a local caster? I have used it (along with a linux caster) and it has never failed (except frequent windows update reboots). Running on a very old and slow laptop that may fail any time soon.

I do use SNIP to push my outbound base corrections to rtk2go as well as rtkdata.online my issue is once in a while I have to manual restart the outbound connections or else AOG gives me a cannot connect to caster error.
I know, you mentioned this on an earlier post already. My question was: “why don’t you use SNIP as and NTRIP caster”? Meaning why not use a private NTRIP caster instead of RTK2GO or rtkdata? Rovers connecting to your caster directly instead of RTK2GO. SNIP seems to work fine in this mode.
Im sorry I got confused. With that I would need a dns server correct ? Since I dont have a static IP ?
Dynamic IP is not a problem, use no-ip, dyndns or such. But do you have public IP? My cellular operator gives it for free but needs a specific apn.
I have a broadband provider for the base station. So I would have a public IP that changes once the lease time is up
That should be OK then. What sort of lease times do they use? My cellular operator assigns a dynamic IP that does not change unless I reboot the modem.
I think its fairly long time but I am not sure to be honest
I had a look at my cellular modem status info and did not find anything about the IP address lease time (it does show this for local network clients). I guess it should follow the same principle as my home router which gives the same IP if the client is still active after the lease time (some remember the client even after reboot and assign the same IP if still free).
My cell modem may also have a short lease time but it still remains unchanged as long as I don’t reboot it. A change of IP should be awkward anyway for ongoing services and should be avoided. As you see, my knowledge about networking is limited.
I think I will try to use snip as a caster itself just gotta setup port forwarding in my router
How do you know what the serial port number should be? I got a base station set up using a panda board sending to rtkdata.online and on my dashboard it says the station is online and my rover is online but I’m still not getting rtk. So I’m wondering if the serial port number isn’t right.
Which code are you referring to? If you mean the NtripBase firmware the serial port is the one the receiver is connected to. rtkdata.online should show which sentences it is receiving.
Ya the ntrip base code. It says to change the code for the serial port but I’m not sure where to find which one to use. The code had 8 in there and i had just left that the same. Rtkdata doesn’t show anything so it seems like the base is not putting any data out to it.
