Help please, base/cast mode missing in Facet model GPS-19984

Hey guys..

obviously im new here, but im at my wits end..

i just bought 2 of these units for offline local ntrip due to no wifi/cell signal where i plan on using them, they both came with v4.1 in them and i upgraded 1 of them to v4.4, but no base/cast mode is in either of them, i need them both as base/cast mode and not base/rover..

what am i missing??

ive searched extensively inside the menus using the wifi and web interface and even teraterm usb/serial interface and nothing..

do i have to update something else? or are both of these incapable of base/cast mode for airgapped ntrip broadcast?

Hi Jim (@AthensJim ),

Bad news I’m afraid… The RTK Facet runs the older RTK Firmware which does not support BaseCast mode.

BaseCast is a feature of RTK Everywhere Firmware - running on our newer product line.

Best wishes,
Paul

@AthensJim

But maybe I’m misunderstanding your post…

Do you want to share corrections from your Base through an NTRIP Caster like RTK2go?

(I don’t understand what you mean by airgapped NTRIP?)

Best wishes,

Hi Paul.. thanks for getinig back to me, what are my options here besides returning this equipment, digikey rec these 2 units and shipped them to me from the states to GR, its not going to be cheap sending them back plus they have a “credit policy” not a refund policy..

can i change the F9P to something else?

i see the mosiac is running the Sept Mosiac X5, and ESP32-wrover, is it as simple as swapping them out to get this up and running?

no.. you understood correctly, i need the facet to provide ntrip due to remote locations, local GR hepos ntrip, rtk2go and others have proven difficult due to no cell svc in the mountain valleys..

I believe 2 Facets can be used with their ESP-Now radios for Local Base/Rover…no NTRIP needed.

i read thru that earlier, that creates a closed network between themselves, a to b, nothing else can connect to them , i need to connect a drone rtk system to atleast one of them using ntrip..

the main issue is i would not have online access, i cant use an online caster svc…

it wouldve been ideal if i can connect the drone controller as a rover to the base.. but it doesnt transmit a wifi ssid

Ah, I didn’t know about the UAV. Sorry :frowning:
