is there anyone who can make a tutorial how to pair SparkFun RTK Facet with Carlson Surv (Ce or PC) suite or Carlson Layout android or even Fieldgenius (ce or PC) or Fieldgenius android :?: :?: :idea: :idea:
I’ve got SurvPC linked up and pulling down RTCM to a Facet. It looks like SurvPC has a pretty bad bug when dealing with caster tables that contain lower case letters, but as long as you setup your Rover with a SurvPC friendly name, it should work fine. Oh neat! I’ve got RTK lock with 14mm reported accuracy. I was able to use a feed from Berthoud (city near Boulder) that SurvPC would accept. It’s not clear to me what settings SurvPC is sending to the ZED-F9P in the background so I cannot guarantee it will work, but it will connect.
Whew. The FieldGenius APK install is a bit of a bother, but once open the device connects great over NMEA + RTK2Go. FieldGenius correctly parses the caster table without problems and I get get 14mm very quickly. This looks as though it will work very nicely.
The challenge that I see with writing a tutorial is how to generalize it enough to enable any user to use any software. Otherwise, we’ll end up writing dozens of such tutorials. I’ll see what I can do.

Thanks for the feedback , just to tell you as a professional surveyor , both Fieldgenius or Carlson suite have the big part of third party app , other wise we use instrument manufacturer software. with Chinese receivers , we begin to see new apps on android but they are not mature as the apps that I mentioned before .
This is excellent feedback and gives me some good perspective. Thank you. I’ll get started writing up what I found.
Hi djchadli,
Turns out Carlson SurvPC is pretty anti-new products in the field:
“We don’t approve of you on use Carlson SurvPC to drive your GNSS and the reason be we would take all the support calls. We have been down this road with other cheap GNSS receives where the manufacture always blamed SurvPC as the problem and never their GNSS receive when it was their GNSS receiver. DO NOT promote SurvPC with your GNSS receiver.”
I’ll focus on Fieldgenius for now.
