There will be a new revision for TinyRTK that will remove the solder bridge. It will improve usability even if the board is already fully compatible with PX4.
Probably at the end of January. The integration is straightforward as all the configuration is either done by the autopilot or QGC, so it is basically plug-and-play as shown in http://px4.io/docs/rtk-gps/.
@stmoon I have a Swift Piksi RTK with me at the moment, but I couldn’t figure out how to integrate it with PX4. Can you please provide me with a guideline on how to do it, I would really appreciate it.
btw, your video looks cool, I can see only 2 base stations for all the drones, how did you manage to do it ?
sorry for late reply. (I got bad cold )
I successfully integrate the piksi driver to pixhawk. However, it does not follow the pixhawk driver concept. so I’m trying to change the driver.
And… I use 1 base station for all the drones. The base station can transmit the correction data to all drones by broadcast. Therefore, there is no problem to increase the number of drone theoretically.
Unfortunately, I cannot share the all codes because of a policy of company. However, I will have plan to share a driver for piksi after checking the policy.
looks interesting!
just want to know what kind of changes did you make in the firmware? and which firmware did you use for that purpose , is it ardiopilot or PX4 or any other one ?
That’s a shame @stmoon, the spirit of opensource encourages sharing with the community, but I understand that some of us don’t have as much flexibility as others.
There is also the HERE+ GPS RTK (http://www.proficnc.com/gps/77-gps-module.html), which gives the RTK capability to the PixHawk 2.1 but I wonder if it is compatible with the Pixhawk 1.
NMEA0183 data format shall be supported? Have you ever tried Tersus GNSS out? For some working scenario with a liitle shelter, dual-frequency RTK will be much more stable in ambiguity fix resolutions.
