Bernardo Espinosa commented on Bernardo Espinosa's blog post Low cost L1+L2 GNSS RTK used for painting football fields
"Dear Chris, I totally agree with DJ.
It is very easy to see why when you add up setup and maintenance numbers, and specially if you multiply by several fields if you handle many.
By the way DJ, we also have L1-Only RTK (pro-level), in case that you…"

"Dear DJ.
Indeed the case of Lawnmowers is one of those few case where we would recommend L1-Only RTK, that could be a low cost solution, benefitting from a locally installed base, ie. one installed on the rooftop of a city dealer. In this case the…"

"Dear Evan
Thank you for your question. At the moment we are adding new fuctions to the Heading RTKite Receiver.
Currently the outputs for heading include:
NMEA: $GPHDT that outputs the Heading from True North (Yaw)
CUSTOM: $GPNAV, outputs in ASCii…"

"Dear DJ, to expand regarding the "no-Base" PPK or RTK, it actually means a CORS recording service to sample the RINEX files to be postprocessed afterwards.

The idea is good to simplify the process of gathering data from the nearest CORS base, but…"

"Dear DJ, great projects indeed!
We are working with integrators and companies of units with similar applications, and now with the new Heading receiver (with Double antenna) the navigation on irregular surfaces is very much improved. You can drop us…"

"D J, very welcome!
Actually we only supply the GNSS Base and Rover (or in this case we call them Robot) and they manufacture the units. The joint R&D took us about half a year, but with some hundreds of units on the market, we are very happy with…"

"Hello Alexey! The 4th picture is just the snap on design of the original mainframe with only L1. It was adjusted to have bigger space to fit the L1+L2 RTKite inside and a hole and base for the Helical antenna. Cheers!"

"Hello, of course! The main function of the RTKite is to provide millimetric accuracy to the drone, so it can be used for both the Geotagging and the Navigation. On the Harfang drone it is the only GPS to provide both functions.
On this video we are…"

"Hello, it really depends on the user application. We've seen most users using the RTKite as the main source of stability during autonomous flight, while others that handle the units manually use it just for precise georeference.
Some others (just a…"
