I’m looking for a RTK solution for the blueboat to either use a base station or NTRIP server (Can I telemeter the NTRIP stream through blueOS?). I want dual antennas for GPS yaw.
Has anyone used the Holybro H-RTK modules (unicore or mosaic?)
Ideally, I would mount an antenna inside each hatch.
Would this solution work, are there any other suggestions to get this going?
Thanks
Hi @CA_BlueBoat -
We’re currently evaluating this solution for potential inclusion on the Blue Robotics Reef. It is indeed possible to process an NTRIP stream and route the corrections to the vehicle via BlueOS / ArduRover, as well as use the yaw from the GPS antennas.
Once we launch this or another solution as a product, we’ll have the usual detailed guides available. If you try the holybro solution, let us know how it goes!
hello, I’m new to blueos, I’m currently testing my rover, I already find that your system is very well thought out and that I love the principle of the extensions. I am also interested in this RTK function, do you think that by using RTKlib in a container and could we make an extension so that the robot is not dependent on the ground station and would calculate the deviations itself?
Hi @Pepeuch -
RTK inherently requires atmospheric corrections from an external source! This can be routed to the system from a network source, or from a non-moving base-station.
Yes I am aware, I have my own fixed base, I cast on rtk2go and centipede, I broadcast on my own local network, but I cannot retrieve the data from blueos.
This is why I asked if adding an rtklib extension could solve this problem. and this would avoid having to go through a ground station for this function.
With ntrip ROS: Ntrip for ROS
Or with this docker image but this would rather be to make an extension, but it would be necessary to make the link with blueos so that it can recover the data.

Hi @Pepeuch
Yes, the goal is to write an extension that makes it easier to interface with services such as rtk2go, likely via 4g/starlink
yes, that’s exactly it, I would like to create such an extension but my knowledge in this area is not at a high enough level. however since the tools are there I will try to do it, because blueos still seems to me to be making good progress. I was also able to see in the extensions some manufacturers who have made their own so that the system recognizes their device. I find it fantastic.
I use a Tersus BX316D… no is a bad solution and good price…
