I’m interested in simultaneously outputting nema data via Bluetooth and a serial cable. I think I have figured out how to configure the hardware to do so. What I don’t see anywhere is a cable that would allow direct output from the j2/j12 4pin jst to a usb male connection that would allow to see the data on a computer. I want to be receiving Rtk corrections and data logging via Bluetooth to my smartphone and at the same time pipe data to the computer ( using u - center) so I can see location drift while surveying. Anyone know where this cable could be found? Thank you.
Amazon does carry assorted cable kits for these and similar drone/uav type devices
To connect to a USB-to-CMOS Serial adapter, basically just need the GROUND, and TX.RTK → RX.USB connection.
I wouldn’t involve a power connection or RX. If you want to configure via the RX.RTK input, you’d have to switch out of the BlueTooth mode, as only one device can be talking to the ZED-F9P
One of the 4-pin header is just solder positions, at glance at the schematic/pictures doesn’t identify the J2/J12 designations.

I have a four pin jst male- 4 jumper lead cable to fit the j2/j12 data ports. So a 4 pin jumper female to usb should allow to connect j2/ j12 to computer?
No, this is a USB cable. https://www.adafruit.com/product/4448
What you want is a 3V TTL/CMOS Serial cable

Just connect the ground, and RX for the USB.
Introducing 5V via the USB into the RTK Surveyor is not advisable or necessary for you to receive NMEA sentences.
I’d remove the pin from the header to avoid the temptation to connect it.
Thank you so much. You have been most helpful and I appreciate it.
