Thanks for the suggestions

Hello,

I am having issues updating from 2.24.0 to v26. When I click on Update RechView, I get the following screen. I am using a web browser from my laptop. Any suggestions to try to update?

**Update I have tried using the phone app and I am still getting the same page as the browser.

Hi @steve.m!

Unfortunately, there is an issue with the firmware version 2.24.0. You can access the Updater page via the <reach_ip>:5000 address. In your case, it should be available at 192.168.1.11:5000.

Hi @PotatoFarmer,

We’ll note this request and think about how to make it easier. Thank you!

Hi Aminu,

it should be possible to update the device just from ReachView 3 Settings tab:

Could you please check that?

Refresh my memory. Where is the link to the new frimware ?

PotatoFarmer · April 24, 2021, 1:07pm

Click the gear icon, then click check for update.

Sometimes you have to check more than once. But others its ready to update.

All three RS2s on 26 now, first time away from the Dev builds for a while! We have six aerial surveys to do this week, P4RTK, RS2 as PPK base and two RS2 rovers for the GCPs. Since updating they all connect to Wi-Fi straight away, and seem to be charging better, we have one unit that always flashed the fifth LED but never made it to 100%, it’s charging great now! Thanks Emlid

I have a question about logging in RV3, I understood that when you enter the antenna height it adds the 0.134m to the antenna phase centre, however according to the RINEX header it has only put 2m for the antenna height:

We have 12 observations from yesterday to process, I’ll just remove the 2m in the header and put a manual height in RTKPost which is the way we’ve always done it.

Africawaterdoc · April 27, 2021, 1:56pm

Hey, this depends on your workflow. For logging and PP in RTKPost, RV3 now adds the antenna information into the RINEX header. Note you can see where it lists the antenna as EML_REACH_RS2. If you are using antenna calibration information (igs14.atx downloadable from the igs website) and loaded into RTKPost through the options/files menu, then don’t add 0.134m to your height as RTKPost will do it automatically from the antenna calibration file. If you’re not using the calibration file, then you can add the 0.134m.

A note on loading the calibration file into RTKPOST. I’ve found you have to select the calibration file in the options/files section and then close the options. You then need re-open the options so that you can see the antenna selections in the options/positions menu. As a final note I recommend using ‘*’ for auto, which means RTKPost will load the antenna and the height value from the RINEX header. If you select EML_REACH_RS2 from the drop down menu you also need to manually enter the height on the right as it won’t load it automatically from the RINEX header. Finally to double check everything is as expected, make sure on the options/output page the output header and process options are turned on. That way you can see in the PP pos file that the correct antenna was applied and the correct height values read from the RINEX header.

Stable or dev ?

Hello!

This is a stable release.

Starting with the Reach Firmware 26 Beta 1, our releases, previously known as ‘dev’ are called ‘Beta’. It means if there is the ‘Beta’ keyword in version (e.g. 26 Beta 1, 26 Beta 2) - this is actually the same as ‘dev’ previously. If not (e.g. Reach Firmware 26, 26.1, 26.2, …) - this is a stable release.

DirtyHarry · May 25, 2021, 9:19pm

So the previous odds and evens system is no more?

dmitry.skorykh · May 26, 2021, 6:15am

Hi @DirtyHarry,
You’re right!

dmitry.skorykh · June 7, 2021, 3:23pm
