Using Mosaic-X5 from the CLI

Community Projects
1

Hello All,

I am currently working on a project using two Mosaic-X5 breakout boards. For the purpose of the project I was hoping to send commands to the boards using the command line Interface (CLI), and ignoring the GUI provided with the board. I currently have a serial radio connected to the COM1 port on each of the boards, I have each board setup properly where one is outputting RTCMv3 and the other board outputting NMEA GGA messages over the COM1 port. I know each type of message is being broadcasted over the serial link, but I cant seem to get a RTK (Fix) connection unless I use Data Link to connect the two sources…I might have an issue with my setup, but I was wondering if this was even possible to do without the assist of the board’s RxLauncher?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

The CLI commands are in the Firmware Reference Guide https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sh … _Guide.pdf, ensure they match what you’re attempting . I also recommend using the software/web interface to troubleshoot/verify their CLI commands, until the issues are resolved (then transferring the same commands via CLI)

Also: Refer to this tutorial on setting up the RTK corrections (just select a serial port instead of and IP connection): https://customersupport.septentrio.com/ … ns-over-IP

  1. Configure the modules in static/rover modes and enable RTK setting

  2. Configure both the output/reception of the correction data on each module; in addition to selecting the RTCM messages being output

I tried the solution mentioned above, and I am still getting the same issue.

For clarity purposes I have 2 mosaic x5 boards. One acting as the Base Station and the other acting as the Rover.

At the moment have the following configuration:

Base Station - Serial Radio is wired to the COM1 port on the Mosaic x5 board.

  • SDIO, COM1, ,RTCMv3

  • setPVTMode, Static, Geodetic

  • setRTCMv3Output, COM1, RTCM1006+RTCM1033+RTCM1074

    • Rover Station - Serial Radio is wired to the COM1 port on the Mosaic x5 board.
  • setNMEAOutput, Stream1, COM1, GGA, Sec1

    • Using Tera Term, I can see that my two radios are communicating with one another, and I can see that the RTCM and NMEA messages are being outputted.

    I know this setup works when everything is connected using USB, but it doesn’t work when I implement it with the serial radios.

    If you see anything wrong with this setup or have any suggestion it will be much appreciated!
