Hi,
I am attempting to connect a Reach RS3 to a RIEGL VZ-400i terrestrial LiDAR scanner to use as an external GNSS antenna. I have the scanner and RS3 connected via Bluetooth, but GNSS data does not transfer to the scanner itself. What baud rate and com(comm) settings does the RS3 require for transferring data? I am able to configure a file for specific GNSS settings on the scanner itself, and I believe these settings are the issue.
Thanks!
Firmware: 31.8
Emlid Flow: v10.0
Hi Tanner,
I am trying to do the same with a RS2+ and a Riegl VZ-2000i (and possibly a RS3 in the near future). If you ever figure this out, please let me know.
Thanks,
Kurt
Hi Tanner,
Welcome to the forum!
We haven’t tested Riegl LiDAR scanners, but I’d like to dig deeper. Can you tell me what your settings are in the Emlid Flow and LiDAR? The screenshots will be appreciated.
There are several ways to stream Reach position: Serial, TCP, and Bluetooth. You don’t need to choose the baud rate or COM in the Emlid Flow while streaming via Bluetooth. Is it possible to stream position via Serial or TCP in your case?
Hi,
I successfully connected the RS3 to the VZ-400i via Bluetooth by using the default settings within the scanner’s provided template GNSS configuration file for Bluetooth connections. COM settings are 0, and Baud rate was the highest possible setting (115200).
Thanks for the help!
Hi Tanner,
Is it possible for you to share the contents of the file? I’m not seeing where the GNSS configuration file allows for a COM setting of 0.

Hi Tanner, no worries I see where the settings need to be changed. Thanks for posting this, it was of much help. I got mine working as well.
Regards,
Kurt
Tanner,
Thank you for sharing the solution! I’m glad to hear it’s working for Kurt as well. It will come in handy for other people who encounter this thread.
Hi Guys,
Just wondering if you had a screenshot of your config file for the VZ series and the Emlid?
I have an RS2 and connected via BT to the VZ2000i. I have set the following in the *.gnss file and can’t get any messages on the VZ.
| recInterf : 3, | |
|---|---|
| recInterfDescr : com:/dev/rfcomm0:115200, | |
| recMessages : [ GGA, GSA, GST, ZDA, , , , , , , , , , , , ], |
Any help would much appreciated…
Actually never mind.
Changed the rover to a RS2+ and no problems. RS2 couldn’t get to work.
Hi Nat,
Welcome to the forum!
It’s curious that you couldn’t get the RS2 to work. Are you using the latest (31.8) firmware version? Can you share the settings so I can take a look?
