Seems to be lots of problems getting reach units to fix. I had mine to float a couple of day ago today could only get single not even float?
I notice that I put the elevation in the base at 541.5 meters. The rover is finding elevation at 515.0 plus or minus several meters. I know the elevation of the base is 541 to 542 meters. So I tried the rover in single mode and it still was finding around the 515 meters.
Also the base does not seem to hold the hz rate as I tried setting at other than the 10hz gps cmd and it would seem to lways revert back?
That sems to be the problem alright. But I see several different geoid calculations, how do I know which to use? I am in Canada if that makes a difference
Just put in your exact Lat. and Long. (use link above) in the correct format where it says:
Enter Latitude:
Enter Longitude:
Then click Geoid12A Computation.
It will give the height.
For example a random point in Canada:
50.085732 Lat.
95.781594 W Long.
Geoid height: -29.487 meters
288.341m (Orthometric/Topo) - 29.487m (Geoid) = 258.854m (Ellipsoidal height for the GPS)
Google Earth is a good way to get fairly accurate coordinates and elevation.
Geoid12A and Geoid12B are both the most accurate ones currently. What helped me is to cut out a perfectly smooth, flat, and round 100 mm in diameter circle from an aluminum cookie sheet. I then glued that to a flat plastic lid as a level ground plane for my antenna. I drilled a hole next to the antenna for the cable to exit the bottom very close to the antenna. Also moving away from houses, power lines, tree etc. of course helped. I’m not sure what else could cause your problems.
Just wanted to note: pos2-arthres is actually the threshold for RTKLIB to start considering solution fixed. By lowering this parameter’s value, you just allow RTKLIB to call a worse solution fixed.
Yes, exactly. Also, float solution in general gives really nice accuracy, so waiting for fix is not always necessary. You should check for yourself by connecting RTKPLOT and watching the coordinate fluctuations.
