Freefly RTK GPS
Application
This kit comes with one module, mounting hardware and a USB cable. Here's what you will need, if you have:
1. An Alta X with F9P GPS (not Here2) and you want full RTK capability
- One RTK GPS Ground Station for your ground station computer
- A radio to communicate between the ground station computer and the Alta (FRX Pro, etc)
2. An Alta X with Here2 GPS, and you want fully RTK capability
- Two RTK GPS Ground Stations (one GPS module functions for your Rover and one for the ground station computer)
- A radio to communicate between the ground station computer and the Alta (FRX Pro, etc)
3. An Alta X with Here2 GPS, and you just want increased GPS performance
- One RTK GPS Ground Station for your Alta X
Need centimeter-level accuracy for your Alta X?? Freefly RTK GPS utilizes Real Time Kinematic (RTK) technology to enable pin-point location accuracy vertically and horizontally.
RTK technology uses a pair of modules to increase positional accuracy. One module will be installed on your Alta X (Rover), and one will be stationary on the ground, connected to your ground station computer (Ground Station). The Ground Station module sends corrections to the Rover module to enable the high-precision location information.
This kit comes with everything you need to install the module on the Alta X, and a magnetic quick-release mount to install the ground module to your existing tripod.
You can either have us install it when you order an Alta X (look for it in the build menu), or you can install it yourself if you already have an Alta X.
Notes:
- For RTK to function, you must use Alta Ground Control with a telemetry link to the Alta X.
- If the Ground Station module is not active, the Alta will have standard GPS accuracy.
- Early production modules will be 3D printed (MJF) before we switch over to molded parts. This doesn't impact performance or reliability.
