I am trying to build a station/rover system which receives and sends correction data through NTRIP. Does anyone know if mosaix-x5 allows receiving correction data through usb-c connections to a cellphone running SW Maps connected to NTRIP, which I think is possible with ZED-F9P.
There are a few options, see this section of its guide https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_GNSS … orrections
Thank you, Russell. I have read through the document. It seems that it requires a usb driver for win/linux, will those settings work through usb-c cable or bluetooth adapter connected to an iphone without special drivers? Also in my environment, ethernet via USB is also unavailable, can I use a usb wifi adapter to access the internet for the base station?
It’s going to require software and drivers that don’t exist which means you’re you’re going to have write your own but that’s probably something you can’t or don’t want to bother with.
IPhone makes things even tricker since that rules out most bluetooth modules and complicates getting the software to work.
If you switch to android, you might be able to get it working via bluetooth by connecting a bluetooth module to one of the GPS serial ports? Sparkfuns nrw bluetooth mate might work for that.
Oh, by the way. The ethernet over usb thing this module does is pretty slick. It’s actually PPP (Point to Point Protocol) over serial over ethernet. Haven’t messed with PPP since the early 90’s, it’s how you did ethernet over serial via a modem. (Think dial up internet although it didn’t have to be dialup, just a serial connection to a host that had internet) it could be done on a iPhone but again, you’d need software on the phone side to make it possible.
Thank you for your insights, YellowDog. I think getting a Raspberry Pi and connect to cellphone hotspot might be the easiest option then.
