RTK Modes
simpleRTK2B supports different operating modes
Standalone – simplest way of reaching 1m position accuracy without range limitations
The most basic configuration is to use simpleRTK2B as a standalone GNSS application board.
Connect it to your Arduino, computer or smartphone and enjoy your position in seconds.
Base – rover configuration – get <1cm accuracy with a maximum range of 35km from the base station
Use two simpleRTK2B configured as base station and rover.
Connect the base station and/or rover to your Arduino, computer or smartphone and you will get both positions in seconds.
Base – multiple rovers configuration – get <1cm accuracy with a maximum range of 35km from the base station
Configure one simpleRTK2B as base and broadcast its RTK corrections to as many rovers as you want to get centimeter level accuracy.
