If you’re building an autonomous vehicle (whether it’s a ground rover, a drone, or a marine robot), choosing the right platform is key to speed up the project. This guide will help you compare and decide between 3 popular platforms: Arduino, ArduPilot and ROS 2. Before we start: some factors to consider Choosing the right […]

This tutorial is designed for professionals and hobbyists who need accurate 3D terrain or site maps but does not own expensive drone with RTK module. This guide will show you how to achieve centimeter-accurate maps using a standard (non-RTK) drone, ground control points (GCPs) and photogrammetry software. Unlike RTK-enabled drones, which embed georeferenced data with

This tutorial explains how to integrate the u-blox ZED-F9P RTK GNSS receiver with a robot running ROS 2 (Jazzy). You’ll learn how to connect the hardware, configure the receiver, set up a ROS 2 workspace, and launch the necessary nodes to receive and process high-precision GPS data with RTK corrections via an NTRIP service. By

Whether you’re working in surveying, farming, or research and need to set up your own RTK base station but don’t know how to set it up, configure and share with NTRIP service? To help in this, we have prepare our video tutorial guides you step-by-step through the process. You’ll learn how to: Set up and configure

If you are located in Germany and need RTK corrections to take measurements with centimeter accuracy, the easiest way to go is to get access to Germany’s national RTK network called SAPOS.  SAPOS service consolidates data from several operators. This service is free in most federal states, while some states require a fee. You can

Use this practical, step-by-step tutorial to compare your real-world RTK GNSS field measurements with official cadastral boundary data — using free, open-source tools like QGIS and QField.You don’t need to be a professional surveyor to follow along. This guide is built for farmers, landowners, gardeners, homesteaders, and also GIS technicians and surveyors who want to

If you’re a land surveyor, construction professional, or engineer using SurPad for your surveying and mapping projects, this guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of connecting your ArduSimple RTK kit for easy integration and centimeter-level accuracy. SurPad supports external GPS/GNSS receivers and has a built-in NTRIP client, allowing you to receive real-time RTK

Get started with Ardupilot If you’re developing a project related to unmanned vehicles like drones (UAVs), rovers, boats, or even submarines, enabling autonomous navigation requires integrating autopilot with a precise GNSS/RTK location system. While the integration process can be challenging, we have prepared this article to help you to get started. What are ArduPilot, Flight

How to install a low cost base station for your DJI RTK drone Precision GNSS positioning is crucial for drone operations requiring centimeter-level accuracy, such as mapping, surveying, and agriculture. In areas without NTRIP services or stable internet, setting up a base station becomes necessary.  DJI’s RTK system provides real-time correction data for precise positioning,
