For a long time I have been trying to get the RTK Torch to send RTCM messages with our drone (Autel evo2 pro v3 RTK) while also sending corrections via LoRa to another RTK Torch acting as a Rover.
I have finally gotten it to work, you can see more details on that in another post that I made recently.
But I have more questions about the Torch:
If I had one torch acting as a rover and another as a base, would it be possible for the NTRIP wifi access point on the rover to be enabled, and sending the data that it recieves via LoRa to the drone over the access point?
My research indicates no, I am pretty sure the Torches have two modes: either they are sending RTCM messages out (as a base), or they are receiving corrections and calculating their position (as a rover).
It seems that my only two options are these: Use the solution that I have discussed in my last post and sacrifice some possible reliability.
Or, have some kind of middle man. I think the most stable option would be two have the Torch send RTCM messages over usb to another esp32, and that esp32 broadcast its own wifi access point.
Would I run into the same issue I mentioned in my last post of bandwidth?
could the torch’s usb port power another esp32 with a 2.4GHz antenna?
