Elevation mask angle should be possible on the LG290P is there a way we can have this implemented into RTK Everywhere.
As I have been testing the Mosiac I notice how I can track a more realistic amount of satellites like pro grade hardware versus the lg290p tracks many many satellites.
Supported in v05 LG290P firmware. I’ll add it to the features list. It’s a bit time consuming because we have to gate keep these new features from being displayed/implemented if the user is operating on a lower, incompatible version.
So it will be done by Friday so I can test it in my sparkfun shootout
You could do an RC test to keep it from breaking users lagging on lg290p firmware?
And really this stemmed from
The Trimble R12i at work around 17 satellites around me
The facet mosaic around 17 satellites
A Carlson brx6+ around 17 satellites
The lg290p with default 5 degree 33 satellites.
I get results that agree with each other except heights from mosiac just because it hasn’t got an NGS calibration (I am sure I could field calibrate the APC)
But I have to wonder what bad answers I could open to by not masking. Sickle tells me it could be bad but I don’t know enough about the magic in the firmware to say.
Thanks a lot @sparky, You are privileged…
2.3.56 thats a lot of new comm.
Hope in HAS development… Your drive is crucial to make this happen.

Thanks, Sparky.
Keep pushing Quectel to be more agile with their updates. Good luck with that. Hehe.
Good news overall. It’s becoming a more complete product. Being able to add an elevation mask is crucial for filtering out very low satellites.
Let’s hope the Galileo HAS corrections appear very quickly.
Best regards.
Thank you to all the excellent beta testers here! Positive reinforcement is a thing. Thanks @AORPLS for confirming real world experience.
A branch that supports these settings is in, testing, then RC merge by Friday is very doable. But just a gentle reminder: RCs are not for the field. Known issues with the current RC branch:
NTRIP Server is broken
Firmware update via Web Config page is broken
ESP-NOW Pairing from the display menu causes reset
Anything TCP/UDP is broken
I don’t think this will affect you all but just know we’re working on these big bugs.
v2.2 release candidate is available here. I recommend the GUI update method but other methods should work. Be sure to update your LG290P as well to allow these new settings to work.
This setting worked as intended. I used it yesterday searching for corners and was able to knock my mask from 20 to 10 to try to get a fix out in the trees.
