We’re pleased to announce yet another dev release for our Reach M+/RS+/RS2 receivers. This is a pretty huge release for us and we’d be glad to hear your feedback on it.
Now this release is available for all devices except first generation Reach RTK and Reach RS. The release for them will be available a little later. It will finally bring all devices under the same version. As the Reach RTK and Reach RS will need to perform a slightly different upgrade.
Best regard,
Emlid Team
Update 24.10.2019
v2.21.1
Improvements
Add ZDA NMEA messages
Disable blinking of the power button on stakeout
RS2: Add accuracy to the Status tab
RS2: Add ‘Loading’ state when initializing the SIM-card
Fixes
Fix missing epochs in raw data logs and bug with some L2 carrier dropped during conversion to RINEX
Reach is able to handle internet connection drops since this release, all streams (NTRIP or any other TCP-based protocols) will be sent/receive data packages as soon as a valid internet connection comes
Add “Raw data debug” in Settings which enables more data for debugging purposes. This is not a functional change but rather a change that might help us debug some of the issues that some users face.
Fixes
Fix NMEA GGA messages to show correct heights
Fix disability to switch from GLONASS to BeiDou in the original Reach, Reach RS and Reach M+/RS+
Fix processing corrections when all RTCM3 messages are selected in the Base mode tab, but the satellite system isn’t selected in the RTK settings
Show AR ratio for in the original Reach, Reach RS and Reach M+/RS+
A thing I noticed today (probably not related to this firmware in particular):
In the point collection survey tool tab, using an iPhone Xs Max, it sometimes takes several tap of a finger to either start/accept a point collection, or press the back/cancel button.
This seems to be due to the way one shifts app on newer iPhones with no home button.
So the Cancel/Accept/Etc buttons should be moved further up on the screen, so they are not in /close to the active area of the app switcher functionality.

Hi !!! connection problems continue, on iPhone and Android. I had to do several reboots. At times the satellite bars fall and connection loss appears.
Could you please elaborate on what’s wrong? What charge is displayed wrong? If you could take a photo of LEDs and a Full System Report, it’s be easier for us to get to the bottom of this issue. Thanks in advance.
Everything appears to have upgraded correctly. I reset everything to my defaults and the rover is picking up several more satellites than the base. I am inside though. Almost forgot to add the other M+from the Yuneec H520… Now it’s like Christmas up in here! Now for some testing.
*10 minutes later and the rover is still seeing two Beidou and three Galileo that none of the others are seeing. All settings are exactly the same. I think I’m going to reset everything back to defaults and start from scratch to see how they compare.
*20 minutes later and now look at the base on the left versus the rover…
*30 minutes later. Rover still has single solution. Drone 2 is also seeing Beidou and Galileo. Bass and drone one are only seeing GPS even after toggling the constellations two different configurations and back. One thing I just noticed is that the bass and drum one also both have a little red dot next to rtk settings that the Rover and drone to do not have…
That’s what I’m guessing. I made changes and seemed to take hold when I hit apply, but when I got out of the screen the red Dot showed up. I’ll test outside tomorrow.
