SparkFun Launches GNSS PNT Evaluation Kit for L1/L2 Bands

The RTK Evaluation Kit offers a plethora of options for prototyping, making it a valuable tool for developers looking to explore high-precision positioning solutions. Equipped with L1 + L2 RTK GNSS capabilities and an agile processor with ample memory, this kit is designed to meet the needs of various applications. Additionally, it comes pre-loaded with the new RTK Everywhere firmware, allowing users to configure the Sparkfun EVK as an RTK Base or Rover effortlessly.

One of the standout features of the evaluation kit is the inclusion of the dual-band ZED-F9P GNSS module from u-blox, which ensures accurate and reliable positioning data. Moreover, the integrated u-blox NEO-D9S enables L-Band reception and access to correction services like PointPerfect, enhancing the overall performance of the kit.

For seamless global connectivity, the u-blox LARA-R6001D module offers cellular connectivity via a nano SIM, allowing users to stream MQTT correction data effortlessly. This feature makes it convenient for developers to access correction services and integrate them into their applications with ease.

In addition to its advanced features, the evaluation kit also boasts Zero-Touch RTK functionality, simplifying the process of receiving corrections. By eliminating the need for NTRIP credentials and providing easy setup options via Ethernet or WiFi, developers can focus on their projects without worrying about complex configurations.

To complement its functionality, the evaluation kit comes in a custom extruded aluminum case with machined end panels and slotted flanges, ensuring easy installation in a weatherproof enclosure. The inclusion of a 1.3-inch OLED display with crisp white pixels further enhances the user experience, providing clear visibility of essential data.
