Hello everybody,
As you might know, we’ve been quite busy working on the new Reach M+ and Reach RS+, which are to replace the old models. If you want to take a closer look, our new store is gorgeous
Although the new receivers are designed to not introduce any drastic changes from user’s point of view, we had to build our own platform from the ground up with the Neutis N5 modules. That’s a whole lot of work. However, I feel that for the future of Reach receivers it is an exceptional change. We’ve not only become more independent from suppliers, but gained much deeper control of the lower level of the platform. Some things on the Edison we had no control of were holding us back, but this is a new opportunity.
It’s been a rather long time since we split our update channels into dev and stable. I wanna say thanks to everybody who opted in for the dev updates, helping us verify things we could not otherwise. It’s time to pour the things back together, so we can split them into two once again
I’ll only give a short list of all the stuff we’ve added and fixed over this dev update series, for the full list and explanations take a look at the dev release changelogs(v2.10.0/v2.10.1, v2.10.2, v2.10.3), these are very verbose.

- RCH-1720 - Twitchy on/off switch in base mode
RTKLIB
Thanks to user reports, we managed to fix a bug with manual base position. It would sometimes ignore the entered coordinates and use averaged instead, which might have resulted in shifts of the solution. The rebuilt versions are uploaded, you can grab them from our post-processing tutorial, as always. Unfortunately, we had to skip the Win32 builds, at least for now.
The next wave of dev updates with new features is right around the corner! Stay tuned
Best regards,
Emlid team
