Use case: U-center is not recognizing simpleRTK2B USB (aka the ZED-F9P is bricked) and hack #2 is not working. This case is rare but can happen if: – All protocols are disabled in all ports (UART1, UART2 and USB) – A combination of disabled protocols and high frequencies that may hang UART communication Problem: If […]

We have shown some figures about the performance of the u-blox ZED-F9P in base-rover configuration, where the base sends corrections to improve the accuracy of the rover position. The base-rover configuration has some advantages: No external infrastructure required No need for cellular network coverage But also has some limitations: The range of RTK corrections is

We have received many questions about the real accuracy of the simpleRTK2B board with the ZED-F9P module and we will write a series of posts talking about it. The accuracy of a GNSS receiver depends on many factors, e.g. antenna used, vehicle dynamics, view of the sky, … So every time you see an accuracy
