DROTEK commented on Chris Anderson's blog post More powerful Pixhawk 3 coming soon
"No one is taking anybody for an idiot. It is a completely different way of tackling the problem by trying to take it at its root, i.e. MEMS temperature-dependant response. This method, as you say, has its own flaws, but what about trying it before…"

"I think this is an eternal debate but what is the point in having three times the same IMU? What is the point in adding more noise to your model? That is not redundancy. It would make sense to have three different autopilots but not three times the…"

"Thanks for the post Chris!@Rob :Ardupilot port is in progress, boards have been sent to devs and some hardware validation is done on PX4 side before back-porting so that work is not duplicated. @Caid : 
It will support all Ardupilot features,…"

"Hey guys, you're too modest !! 
These guys do an incredible job. All their drones are manufactured from A to Z in their factory in France. Helipse, it's 15 years of experience in Helicopter drone manufacturing. We partner with them since our…"

DROTEK commented on DROTEK's blog post 3DR Solo now with RTK !
"M8P performance is good, in 4-5 min you can achieve centimeter level locks, which is good compared to other products on the market. There are built-in integrity functions so the output is rock solid. Additionnally u-blox constantly improves firmware…"

"@Jonathan @Artem
The easiest way to send the corrections without any additional hardware modification is to use built-in Wifi and Mission Planner (with base station connected to it)) with the "Inject GPS" function. It will send corrections over the…"

First of all, Happy New Year Community ... We wish you a Happy flight year ! Good news for Solo owners, we just released 2 versions of Solo GPS to replace your factory GNSS. One with u-blox NEO-M8N or NEO-M8T and one with u-blox NEO-M8P3DR SOLO RTK…

DROTEK commented on DROTEK's blog post TinyRTK Drone Edition - Fully integrated RTK module with u-blox NEO-M8P
"@Thorsten ;
In progress!

@RPM : 
In accordance with u-blox documentation refresh rate is firmware-limited to 5Hz for multi-GNSS RTK. Exactly you got the point, it will provide more accurate readings at a slower rate. I guess the good way to deal…"

Prices are available in our Indiegogo campaign.The aim of the campaign is to reduce prices with larger quantities.

"@Thorsten :
Exactly, there is no SD card, it is for real time calculations. u-blox claims 2 min convergence time. We chose patch antenna for this version in order to have a fully integrated system with a small footprint.
There is no additional…"

"Hello Thorsten,
We have tested many patch antennas and this one has the best quality / price ratio.
You can see the base module on the first picture. For the rover we remove the BLE and add the compass.
The PX4 team should publish videos very soon.…"

DROTEK commented on DROTEK's blog post TINY RTK : The world smallest precision GPS ... and the cheapest
"@Jose : 
What messages can your correction service provide? M8P works with RTCM 1005, 1077 and 1087 by default for GPS and GLONASS (it has also BEIDOU), and u-blox will probably extend compatibility to other messages. Do you usually work over 3G…"

 u-blox NEO-M8P is the smallest high precision RTK GNSS (Real Time Kinematics) module available on the market and TINY RTK is the first global solution for u-blox NEO-M8P. The RTK algorithms are pre-integrated into the module. As a result, size and…
