Reach: first affordable RTK GPS receiver
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/reach-first-affordable-rtk-gps-receiver
Reach is for applications when your standard GPS with several meters accuracy just won’t cut it. It relies on RTK (real-time kinematics) technology to deliver centimeter level accuracy.
RTK was here for a long time, used mostly by surveyors and unaffordable to hobbyists and makers. If you needed centimeter precise positioning you had to spend thousands of dollars on an RTK system. With Reach we want to change that.
Reach runs open-source RTK processing software called RTKLIB written by Tomoji Takasu. Previously a computer was required to run RTKLIB, but now all RTKLIB features are available directly on Reach.

Edison is mounted on screws, so it can be easily detached.
Any limitations on using Linux on Edison?
No, you can hack it any way you want.
I had great results using RTKLIB with Ublox NEO-6T receiver. Will NEO-M8T provide even better performance?
Sure! Unlike NEO-6T, new NEO-M8T supports not only GPS, but also GLONASS and Beidou which results in better satellite view all the time. That helps to lower the fix time and increase reliability.
Emlid team members are here and we would be happy to answer any questions.
