Mosaic X5 base can't connect to NTRIP caster

following configuration outlined in link

but password is getting corrupted (saved correct one, when i reopen instance it has gibberish PW) and connection error results, no NTRIPing

Hi @TLFLOW ,

I think the password corruption is actually a security feature. I see the same thing. I think it is displaying a hashed version of the password?

NTRIP works just fine, if you have it configured correctly.

Which NTRIP server / caster are you trying to use? Are you sending data to a Server, or receiving data as a Client? Have you double-checked you have entered all the server details correctly? Have you checked you are using the correct NTRIP Rev (Rev2 vs Rev1)?

I hope this helps,
Paul

i still can’t connect dbl checked all the data … I’m using V2, is that no good?

I got new pw from rtk2go, everything works as it should … but my cell signal is too weak, so i keep losing NTRIP. I have Mosaic X5 base, most of my work will be within 2 miles of the base. Is there anyway to use the LoRaSerial radios to send RTCM?

With line-of-sight it’s possible…is there a clear path to/from the 2 areas?

using torch as rover?

? You were asking about LoRa

yes is it possible to use LoRaSerial to connect torch to base

Not easily, as far as I know…read through this thread What LoRa radio to send RTK corrections to RTK Torch - #10 by TS-Russell

I missed that one of the devices was a torch, which was designed to get PPP correction data

Can I send the PPP via L5?
to be less vague can i send the correction from my base via the PPP/RTK service on the L5?

2 miles is very far for most radios including LoRaSerial. I would not recommend LoRaSerial for 2 mile transmission it unless you have large antennas and a clear line of sight.

If your site really does not have cellular reception to allow RTCM over NTRIP, you have a few options:

  • You could use the RTK Facet L-Band (assuming you are in the coverage area). The corrections come over a geo-synchronous satellite
  • You could setup a base on site. See this thread.
  • You could get a commercial surveyor grade packet radio like the Harxon Radio HX-DU1603D. You will likely need to obtain a HAM radio operator’s license to legally operate any surveyor grade radio.

LoRa is not really an option. The Torch LoRa can’t pair with any available radio, so it’s essentially worthless. I’m gonna try a $60 HaLow wfi setup, i think they can do about 1/2 mile.
