SparkFun Reference Station, ESP32 Configuration for RTK2GO Tutorial?

GPS/GNSS Enclosed Products
1

I just got things setup sending signal out to RTK2GO, but I’m using the USB connection to the UBLOX port and my Windows PC needs to always be on.

I read that for “ESP32 Setup (Option 2)”, I can likely send the data directly to RTK2GO via Wi-Fi (How to Build a DIY GNSS Reference Station - SparkFun Learn)

My general understanding is that I would need to connect the “CONFIG ESP32” USB-C port to my computer in order to enter the specific commands.

Is there a walk through somewhere that can show me how to program this?

I’m checking ESP32 Thing Plus Hookup Guide - SparkFun Learn, but I’m not exactly sure where to start in the guide since it appears the Reference Station already has done many of those steps.

Start here and after you get the blink example working try the WiFi example…by then you’ll have a decent idea of how to upload code to the esp32 Thing Plus

Next, go back to the GNSS example Option 2 and you’ll just need to copy & upload the NTRIP example
Note that you will need to alter the secrets.h file to match your info and you are off to the races!

Hi @jeffersonkim ,

You are using the SparkFun RTK Reference Station, which runs our RTK Firmware. We also have that tutorial on how to build your own reference station using an ESP32 Thing Plus and a ZED-F9P breakout. There’s a lot of commonality between the two. But I think what you’re looking for is how to set the fixed location for your base and configure the NTRIP Server settings in the RTK Firmware:

Hope this helps,
Paul
