Change Settings of Emlid Reach RS+ By USB connection

Reach RS / RS+ Getting started
5

To use the 9-pin connector to access ReachView would be very cumbersome and it is not a supported method.

To use the USB connector to access ReachView is possible. I have done it many times.

USB can be used in different ways. One is “serial over USB” which is not what you want. The other is “Ethernet over USB” and this is what you want. You should research how to do this type of thing with your particular operating system.

  1. Plug your Reach device into your computer with the USB cable. Then set up Ethernet over USB on your computer.

  2. Set the IP address of your local side of the USB connection to be some address in the 192.168.2.xx range. e.g. 192.168.2.1

  3. Reach sets a static IP address for its own USB connection at 192.168.2.15, so open your web browser and enter Reach’s IP address which is 192.168.2.15

You should see ReachView come up on the screen now!

#1 is the hardest step, but you should be able to figure it out by searching for how-to instructions on the Internet.
