Comment on Swipos-GIS/GEO, nationwide GNSS RTK correction for centimeter accurate location

Comments

Andreas Spiess, the youtuber with a swiss accent, recently did a video on GNSS w/ RTK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc1LBFDj2MA

Goes into detail about how to setup your own, join existing networks, even using fairly inexpensive tooling for your own RTK adventures.

I love his channel, and not only because of the accent. True no nonsense stuff. His videos about LoRa are brilliant.

I am especially gratefy for his video about power measurements of microcontrollers. It's really common sense for everyone with a little bit of electronics background but I've seen so many people (some who should have known better) just sticking a multimeter onto it and calling it a day that someone really explaining patiently and in simple terms, why this often does not really work is a godsend.

Sparkfun also has an interesting writeup on how you could set up a base station and feed into networks as well https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_Firmware/permanent_ba...
