Emlid reach M2 with RFD900 using serial 2

Hi,
I’m trying setup RTK using Emlid M2 and RS2, connection using RFD900 because need longer distance.


from documentation all radios use serial1, but I need serial1 for communication with autopilot(pixhawk)
is it possible for me to use serial2 port at emlid M2?

Hi Fajar,

is it possible for me to use serial2 port at emlid M2?

The S2 port is reserved for the LoRa connection.

Instead of this, you can embed corrections to the telemetry radio. This way, you can connect M2 to the autopilot with S1 and still work in RTK.

We have a guide for the workflow.

It also shows how to connect the Reach base and the GCS via TCP to pass the corrections.

I compared with emlid LoRa radio.
and I set RTK freq to 5Hz.
that why I separate radio for RTK and drone data.
