SparkFun RTK Reference Station GPS-22429

[KiwiEd]

Hi
what do you guys think of this as ready to go base station kit?

 

[Northern farmer]

Looks nice but does it not support any internal NTRIP caster (need to use an external caster like RTK2GO)? I did not find any option to add RTCM1008 (not running STRSVR?), neither legacy messages (RTCM1004/RTCM1012 for old rovers).

More than twice the price of a SimpleRTK2B (the same receiver as in the SparkFun box) and a Raspberry Pi. I guess OK for a commercial product with a proper enclosure included.

Thanks.
Could you please post a list of the exact components I would need including an aerial, would soon fit them in a box, it will be inside.
Could I have explanation on the various ways to upload to the cell network from the base station.
If I understand correctly for example with the SparkFun box you run a ethernet lead from it to your internet router then upload it to the net on the likes of RTK2GO.

Ive done similar but with the f9p plus a raspberry pi uploading to rtkbase

The added benefit of this is that is casts via rtk2go AND centipede.

At the same time?!

Have you managed to get Centipede working ? By the looks of their user map they haven't got any users in the UK, but lots for France (of course) and Hungary.

I believe so.

You don't need to be on the map to be casting using centipede.
You only appear on the map if you register your base officially.

Do you need a Raspberry PI with the starter kit ?
Can it be connected with a lead instead of wifi ?
