"TGM100 update:
System has been flown on a Logo helicopter as well as several Tarot 680 drones. Even without external correction, it performs great, much better than the M8N receiver.
However, the RTK mode is not solid so more work is needed on…"

"The LED feature is a quick and easy indication of how many satellites the system has locked on to. The "ON" time is proportional to the SNR (<35dB is a solid ON). The LED feature certainly does not improve signal reception, nor does it impact it,…"
"Roby, Yes x 3. Preliminary data sheet is attached. However, before selling it and joining your list of undesirables :), we really need to do more testing. If you are up for it, I can get you a system. Roby said:

"Roby, Those are good questions and I will get you answers! However, because GPS conditions change continuously, we'll have to come up with some measurement metrics - something meaningful to compare performance to. For example, we have to define…"
"Roby, Very interesting article. Since 2000 I've used Novatel and uBlox receivers on various UAVs, particularly VTOL. The early uBlox receivers were so-so with firmware changes from uBlox making us lose hair when one vehicle few ok and…"
"Chris, the LED feature is 80% cool and 20% useful (depending on who you ask :) ). It only adds a few dollars to the overall cost and it provides instant information about the number and "spread" of the received satellites. The "outer ring" shows…"
Hello, I have designed a new RTK GPS unit I call TGM100 (100 x 100 mm ground plane), based on a uBlox NEO-M8P receiver. As the image shows, the ground plane is equipped with 24 LEDs, which will show the relative position of received satellites. …
