F9P base station for Trimble

Currently running a F9P with a Wifi Ntrip master over Centipede to provide RTK for Agopengps. We purchased a steer ready MF 7S earlier in the year which came with a Trimble receiver so I would like to provide corrections from my own base. (Had a lot of problems trying to get AOG steering over CAN so just about given up.)

What is the best way currently to use a F9P to provide the correct messages for Trimble? I think the issue with my current base would be the lack of the 1008 message for Trimble? Reading online perhaps a Pi with a F9P, just unsure which is the best way to go currently.
Thanks

@Fen Farmer did you get anywhere on this? I have Raspberry Pi and F9P don’t seem to have a clue what I am doing so not getting very far. The CFX 750 May not be able to talk a Ntrip language!

I have managed to get my Rasp Pi F9P Base working. I followed these instructions:

Download the top file in the asset section on this page:

Then copy onto the SD card. Connect the Rasp Pi to the F9P with a usb cable, it even configures the F9P for you. I bought the Rasp Pi power supply to power the Pi. Enter your base station coordinates on the browser page and configure Centipede and that was basically all i did.

I used the Ntrip checker app on my phone to check my base was functioning correctly.

Further guidance here:

Hope this helps.
