DFRobot_RTK_LoRa

• 中文版 This RTK high-precision positioning kit uses the combination of base station and mobile station to achieve centimeter-level positioning within a certain range of open areas. The calibration data obtained by the base station is transparently transmitted to the mobile station module in RTCM format through the Lora module, and the mobile station module realizes centimeter-level positioning output through calibration operations. The kit consists of two Lora modules, a mobile station module, a base station module, and two GNSS antennas supporting the L1+L5 band. The mobile station adopts the remote LC29HDA module, which is a dual-band, multi-constellation GNSS module, supporting the simultaneous reception of GNSS, GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS and QZSS satellites. Also tracking GPS L1 C/A, GLONASS L1, Galileo E1, BDS B1I, QZSS L1 C/A, GPS L5, GalileoE5a, BDS B2a and QZSS L5 bands, Can quickly obtain longitude and latitude, time, altitude and other data. The number of visible satellites is greatly increased compared with ordinary GPS, and combined with the base station module, after receiving differential data, centimeter-level positioning can be achieved in open areas. The base station adopts the remote LC29HBS module, which is a dual-band, multi-constellation GNSS module, supporting the simultaneous reception of GNSSGPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS and QZSS satellites. Simultaneous tracking of GPS L1 C/A, GLONASS L1, Galileo E1, BDS B1I, QZSS L1 C/A, GPS L5, GalileoE5a, BDS B2a and QZSS L5 bands provides fast and accurate acquisition, Provide correction data. The mobile end of the kit supports I2C/UART output, and is compatible with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry PI and other main control devices. As an entry-level module, it is simple to use, without complex wiring and data link construction, and can be used for RTK entry learning, positioning tracking car, item tracking, high-precision control, etc.
