Question: Can this be used in conjunction with ArduCopter?

[careyer]

Hi there,

very nice project. Is it possible to use this project in BaseStation Mode together wtih ArduCopter/Pixhawk (as a rover)?
Has anyone tried this yet or can point me in the right direction?
If this was possible it would be awesome since ArduCopter has build-in support for the 3DR-Radios which can be used in this project as well.

Thank you very much!

Hello
Yes it should work, I connected a RTKbase on a desktop PC with mission planner, In Setteing>>Optional Hardware go to the RTK-GPS page and set up com port to the radio link of the RTKbase. You will have a RTCM injection in your mavlink telemetry to the rover . The station part looks OK but I didnt' try the rover side.

Hi @Francklin2, thank you for your timely reply! That sounds very promissing. Please excuse my dumb question but I have not completly understood the RTK conecpt just yet: Do I need a M8T (raw enabled) GPS at the Arducopter as well? Maybe even a complete Setup (Raspi + M8T) configured as rover at the Copterside or will the flightcontroller at the copter just inject the correctiondata to the standard GPS stream that comes from the standard copter GPS?

Thank you very much!
