TCP correction to Sparkfun Surveyor - IP/Port

GPS/GNSS
1

Hi,

According to the manuals/guides it is possible to receive RTCM corrections via TCP using a local hotspot to supply internet connection. I would then push the corrected position over BT to survey app e.g. Qfield from the Sparkfun.

I have the details of a public ref station that is sending corrections directly over TCP. I have the station ‘server’ IP and port settings. There is an option for a TCP client in the Sparkfun receiver settings (wifi config page) but it only has an entry for a TCP port. I would also add the server IP in similar setups e.g Emlid. to ‘connect’ to the correction feed. Is this possible with the Surveyor receiver?

Hopefully I’m just missing something but it only seems that I have to use NTRIP (a caster service, account etc) service at the moment to connect a ‘NetRTK’ feed.

Thanks in advance for the help!

I don’t think the Surveyor can operate WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time.

That’s normally not an issue, except when your data collector app (QField) doesn’t have a built-in NTRIP Client - that would use the bidirectional bluetooth pipe.

You could use a companion app like Lefebure NTRIP with QField (as you mentioned), or any data collector app like SW Maps, etc that has a NTRIP client - and operate over bluetooth only.
