Why do drones need a GNSS receiver?

Having a base GNSS receiver that can work without external network connections, such as a base station receiver with a built-in data logger, allows the drone to use RTK even in areas where there is no network coverage. This ensures that the drone's position measurements are accurate and stable, even in remote locations.

How does a GPS drone work?

This is done by comparing the signals received from the GPS satellites by the drone's GNSS receiver with the signals received by a separate base station receiver. The base station receiver is typically placed at a known point on the ground, and its location is used as a reference point for the drone's position.

What GNSS receiver should I use for drone RTK?

Having a GNSS receiver, such as Reach RS2+ to work as a base for drone RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) connection without external network connections will enable you to have a stable and accurate reference point for your drone's position. The RTK technique is used to achieve centimeter-level accuracy in the drone's position measurements.

How to connect RTK drone to remote controller?

Switch on the RTK enabled drone, and the connection to its remote controller is established instantly. In RTK menu of the Remote Controller, go to RTK. Enable the RTK position so that converge process can start. Fill in the NTRIP information as you set it up in step 5. After few seconds you will see that RTK is connected.

How do I choose a drone connector?

Invest in good-quality silicone wires that have a high strand count and are resistant to heat and wear. Additionally, use connectors that are designed for drone applications, such as XT60 or Dean’s connectors, to ensure secure and reliable connections.

What is drone wiring?

The wiring system of a drone is an essential component that allows the various electronic parts to communicate and function together. It is important to have a good understanding of drone wiring to ensure proper connectivity and operation of the different components. One of the key components in drone wiring is the flight controller.
