Setup for connecting m+ rtk with pixahawk4

Hello emlid community,
I tried to connect pixahawk4 with reach rtk m+ module using the instructions in the following url:

The document illustrates the process for the setup for pixahawk3 with with rtk. Since i am using pixahawk4, i connected the module to uart and i2c port instead of the serial port using uart connection. When powering the pixahawk, no power is reaching the m+. To resolve this issue, i followed the instruction for the pins configuration for the rtk and pixahawk using the following websites

https://docs.px4.io/v1.9.0/en/flight_controller/pixhawk.html

I realized that the connectors are flipped out (i used the wires from pixahawk), so i manually attached the pins to the correct configuration and i was able to power the module with pixahawk.
I also was able to configure the reach and base using reach view, i chose the position output to be TCP and the correction input to serial (UART).

After that i followed the same instruction to connect the mission planner after tunning the rtk parameter, however it still shows that there is no available gps as shows in the next picture. My questions are, was someone able to launch pixahawk4 with m+ module using mission planner? If yes, what is the exact setup? How to configure rtk with the mission planner?

Your help is really apperciated,

Hi Abdulla,

Thanks for the detailed report.

What flight stack do you use?

Hello Dmitriy,
We are using pixhawk4 arudopilot 3.6.12.
Regards,

Hi Abdulla,

May I ask you to try outputting the position from Reach M+ in NMEA instead of ERB?
