Hello everyone,
I’m currently working on an RTK drone and have purchased the Ardusimple RTK2B Kit for it.
However, I’m currently facing an issue where although one of my XBee antennas is transmitting data, the second XBee antenna is not receiving it.
I have made the following settings:
For Base RTK:
Attach USB to the unit, start the UBLOX U-Center app, connect, and in the U-Center configuration view, set:
- PRT: UART1, 57600 baud, RCTM3 out, UBX in…press send button in lower left
- TMODE3: Survey-in, 60seconds, 2 meters…press send
- MSG: RTCM3.3 - 1005, UART1 in/out, 1sec…press send RTCM3.3 - 1074, UART1 in/out, 1sec…press send RTCM3.3 - 1084, UART1 in/out, 1sec…press send RTCM3.3 - 1094, UART1 in/out, 1sec…press send RTCM3.3 - 1124, UART1 in/out, 1sec…press send RTCM3.3 - 1230, UART1 in/out, 5sec…press send
- CFG: Save current configuration to FLASH…press send
For the Rover unit:
Attach USB and use U-Center to set:
- PRT: UART2, 57600Kbaud, RCTM3 in, UBX out…press send
- CFG: Save current configuration to FLASH…press send
In general I followed the following tutorial:
Setting up a Rover Base RTK System
I have already tried connecting the two boards directly via cable, and data was successfully transmitted, resulting in an RTK fix. Why isn’t this working through the XBee antenna? I also tried connecting the cable to the RX2 port but still didn’t receive an RTK fix. Why does it work with RX1 but not with RX2?
