Machine control corrections - EMLID caster pro

We usually have a minimum of 10 Leica MC1 GPS machines connected to our base stations via emlid caster pro.

We can always connect to the caster with no issues, however some machines just won’t connect.

I see the rover/connection increase in the caster as we press connect on the machine, but after a few seconds it drops back down almost like it disconnects.

I’m unsure whether this is a firmware issue with the iCG82 receivers on the machine or if there are some tweaks I can do on the base or caster to try and allow the corrections to stream and maintain a connection

I seem to see this issue more with the newer firmware versions on the iCG82s

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Jake,

For now, it sounds like this could be an issue on the 3rd-party side, but I want to ensure we’ve checked everything on our end first.

How often is this happening? Are multiple rovers disconnecting from the same base at the same time, or is it just a few specific ones?

Hi Inkar,
Its just the Leica GNSS receiver that seems to connect for a second, then drop out. It only seems to be on the newer firmware that I have upgraded a couple of them to.

They work ok with VRSNow and RTKPremium corrections though
