Another test and another epic fail. I tried to connect to our Ntrip service smartnet and still no corrections.
My app is v7.5
I can’t get these things to stay connected to my phone, at this point im taking everything back to the dealer and making them show me these work.
Hi Chris,
I also have intermittent wifi connection issues when using my android phone’s hotspot. But, in my case, I can ultimately get them to connect. And, the receivers actually do work very well. I know how frustrating it can be though when they seem to fight you!
If you have access to an ipad, you might give that a try if you have not returned the units yet. The ios device seems more consistent with it’s connections.
Also, I have had a support ticket in for the connection inconsistency issue and Emlid has found some things they can tweak that will hopefully improve the setup in a fw update.
Anyway, maybe don’t throw in the towel just yet.
Thanks,
I could deal with the connection inconsistentancy, but i lose all connection to them until i reset everything twice. Extremely frustrating.
Reachview3 does not currently keep the android phone from sleeping (screen turns off) and maybe this contributes to disconnects from the receiver. All of the drone flight apps that I use keep the device awake when in use. @svetlana.nikolenko could this be a factor in disconnects between RV3 and the receiver? Perhaps a “keep awake” feature could be added to RV3? I don’t know if this is relevant, just tossing out ideas.
Hey, so we know you have a port open to the caster now, caster connects, and your rover connects to caster it but is not receiving corrections its waiting………
Did you remember to activate any of the correction messages?
Where’s that?
Rtcm3 corrections under base tab
I notice on this unit they were all set to 0.1hz from stock, that wont do it. @svetlana.nikolenko new units all these settings are at 0.1hz? Confusing 1st time setup, might need new default values.
Arp should be 0.1hz, constellations are 1hz
Extremely, I did check those but the message types didn’t match what was in my message list so i was hesitant to change any of that.
I change the message frequencies and see if I can finally get a correction, then it will be trying to figure out how to get my phone to connect via bluetooth.
I changed the rate, but still waiting for corrections
Hi there,
Thank you guys for your suggestions! Just to avoid confusion: we also have a private conversation with Chris. And once we find out the reason for these issues, I’ll post it here.
ReachView 3 indeed doesn’t have it, but there is also a native Andoird Battery optimization feature. It allows the app to work in the background and prevent disconnections.
I’ll check the default settings. I was pretty sure they’re 1 Hz. But anyway, it shouldn’t affect Emlid Caster’s workflow. They may affect Fix obtaining, but the base still should be Online.
My default settings where almost all 0.5hz, the ARP was 0.1
Yeah, I’ve just checked the default settings, and you’re right.
Still we have no corrections, and yes it usually is simple so I am thinking it has something to do with how you connect to the internet.
Try the rover on a different internet connection?
Try a different router?
Also you will not make corrections if you do not have a good view of the sky. If you are trying this inside the office it will not work.
The base is or was outside, I am unable to try a different internet connection as if I do there’s no way to connect to my rover. So far I can only connect to the receivers if they’re on the same Wifi network. If I change my rover to my phones hotspot, It severs the connection between my phone and rover and the only way to connect back to my rover is to reset the rover so it puts its internal hotspot up then I can connect, but then I’m not connected to the internet. I’ve tried hooking the Rover and my phone up to the jet pack but I get the same results.
Everything shows up on the caster page, Base is online shows 1 rover connected, but no corrections.
To ensure you are getting the corrections do you have any computer software that can see rtcm3 corrections?
If you do not, the “AgIO” program in this free open source project can. If we see the corrections we will know 100% that the base is fine and can quit troubleshooting it.
When you open AgIO setup the ntrip to see your base on caster, then connect, once connected use the expand arrow to see the corrections. Will post image once back at PC.
Im very interested where the break in communication is.
I’ll give that a go when I have a minute, thanks for all the suggestions
I’m not sure what I’m looking for but I don’t think anything is coming through.
So I think I may have found the problem. I believe our office wifi’s firewall, which is heavily regulated by a third party… yay, is blocking my base from streaming a correction to the Ntrip caster. I’m going to take the units home this weekend and try on my home network and see what happens.
Click the blue arrow to view incoming RTCM
It will open a new side panel. It will show what messages and what hz they are arriving at.
Also in the photo it says “waiting” to connect, if it actually connects it will say “listening” and track the data usage. I do see data so it connected for 12kb and then disconnected. Very handy.
I think you are on the right track using a different router, Emlid correction setup is very easy unless some outside force is messing things up.
