Hello everyone.
I apologize if I made a mistake with the topic. Sorry, may I ask a question? I'm a bit confused...
Currently, I am looking for an affordable GNSS receiver for precision agriculture. I know that there are many options available in terms of price and quality. However, I am also wondering if it is possible to create a DIY RTK receiver. I found an affordable kit for RTK on this website: https://gnss.store/gnss-development-kits/147-elt0130.html.
But I still doubt my capabilities to do it myself. Maybe someone has experience in this and can give some advice? I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hello All, I am new to the group and looking for someone that can work with to us build an affordable fixed-wing drone for precision farming. Drone needs to have flight planning software as well as decent RGB and multispectral payloads. Most of the off-the-shelf platforms to expensive for our application. Please let me know if you can help.

  George, I have used one of the early Event38 E384 fixed wing drones for aerial surveying and 3D mapping of golf courses. It was very effective.

  However it was developed for agricultural monitoring and does support multi-spectral acquisition, so I suspect you would find these useful for your application. You could learn a lot from using one of these.

Hi All, I am interested to make contact with fellow enthusiasts in the Brisbane or SEQ area of Queensland Australia with a view of learning more about the directions, and applications drones have in the broad acre pastoral and agricultural areas of the State and Australia as a whole. I am lfrom a cattle and sheep background. Ted

Hi, I am from New Zealand and trying to understand the application of drones in agriculture. We have a lot of sheep on large extensive farms, but trying to understand how ranchers from the USA might use drone technology is very difficult from the bottom of the pacific. I have a 2 minute survey with 11 questions which would really help my project. Thank you. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RSW59CH

Hello, Im Delmond Marshall, I'm new to the drone culture. I'm Head Coach of the Flint Unity Farming Project in Flint, Michigan where we teach kids how to grow vegetables they can eat that will help offset their exposure to toxins caused by the Flint Water Crisis, which is still ongoing. A news story on us is online at: http://www.abc12.com/video? vid=434367523. I'd like to introduce drones to my kids. My question is whats the most inexpensive drone with cameras can I get or have made that they could use? I have 102 kids, No way I can buy all of them drones. If I could get 5 of them for our group, I'd be happy.I'm hoping to create a drone club for them. Any ideas or suggestions please share and let me know. Check out my drone flight I posted on my Linkedin page

What are the impacts of agricultural drones on the agricultural development of various countries?

Agricultural drones have gone from being questioned by the market to being actively promoted by the government, from tens of thousands to thousands of dollars. Behind this is the rise of technology in the entire industry. However, the degree of promotion of agricultural drones varies greatly in different regions. What do you think of the application of agricultural drones in your country?https://youtu.be/TDTW9TsvjZw EFT agricultrul drone solution

Open Source Drone Payload Project Supporting In-Flight AI

I'm leading a project to develop a completely open source system for deploying artificial intelligence and computer vision on a drone. We are trying to make the system as general purpose as possible, but one application would be supporting precision agricultural. The real-time, in-flight processing aspects of the payload are probably less interesting for precision AG, but the data collection and curation capabilities might be. We are getting started with a few specific missions, we are…
