I understand you have power pack attached to the reach module in the base station and the rover and also attached the antennas in both of them , what I would like to know is how do the rover talk with the base station , do you have a radio communication setup , please elaborate, thanks
For now its just local wifi router connecting rover and base.
But hopefully will this provide internet , or my phone as local hotspot. Base will be place either at my work on local wifi and with baseline no more then 10km away, or use base over a known point with another router or with the same wifi as the rover.
Great work and a good looking setup! A couple of things for the rover pole. You can buy a pole mounted bubble pretty cheap from a survey supply store. These can be adjusted to get the best plumb possible. Additionally, the bubble should be mounted higher on the pole as it will be more sensitive higher. Any error in the bubble will be compounded the lower it is on the pole.
Sorry for derailing the thread here, but are you sure about that? I can understand that the lateral movement is greater at the top than the bottom and so the bubble would seem more unstable or “active” at the top. e.g. showing that my hands are shaky and I should not become a surgeon.
However, if the pole is tilted 1 degree from vertical, then won’t the bubble read 1 degree at the top and also 1 degree at the bottom? The accuracy being the same at the top and the bottom?
Something like this would have 3 set screws for adjustment on the bottom. Hang plumb bob from ceiling, secure pole directly underneath, bi-pod or tape , adjust your bubble to center and you have survey grade pole for survey grade accurate RTK!
Not sure about the position but all of our 2.0m poles have the bubble at or around the 1m mark.
, adjust your bubble to center and you have survey grade pole for survey grade accurate RTK!
