FPV and Control over 1 radio link

Started this discussion. Last reply by jflagarde Apr 3, 2011. 3 Replies

I'm starting to design a tricopter and I want FPV video and control to use one RF link (probably 900MHz). I'll use a dsPic on both ends to run the codecs. I need a radio though that can do at least…Continue

Realtime DGPS with ublox and GPSTk lib processing, relative <1m?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Crashpilot1000 Jan 13. 76 Replies

I've read through a few discussions on this forum about poor man's DGPS and getting relative accuracy down to the ~1m range.  It seems no one's having much luck even with identical GPS units.  I'm…Continue

"> What I don't get is if 2 units are identical and close to each other...would getting DGPS corrections help? DGPS is a low grade correction, slightly better than WAAS as it's localised. RTK is dependant on one of the receivers knowing…"

"Ah. No, I didn't attempt that. This thing had to operate without web connection so even if that would have worked, I didn't look into it. Although I guess it would have been insightful to pinpoint the problem. What I don't get is if…"

"Ok, it's been a while since I had my head swirling in GPS. Remind me how NTRIP works? That's a TCP stream with correction data from various ground locations? And that acts as one end of a baseline?"

"It's probably not the antennas that are the issue.  Are you some place where you could establish a baseline using NTRIP? "

"Not really. I never did get better than 3 - 4 meter relative accuracy. I suspect the small patch antennas might be to blame? I tried hooking up 2 identical units to RTKLib and it took forever to a get a lock and it was often wrong.  This might…"

"You can of course use the lea-4T for RTK in RTKlib, you just need to transmit and receive the raw ublox output. Provided of course that both Base and Rover are ublox. The raw ublox output has checksums included, and it does work very well with…"
