Components for the project

[cboscaro]

Good morning.
I wanted to ask if you can give me an updated list of the best components (Hardware) to buy to carry out the project.

Best regards

Hello
I check the links on the readme.md (end of first page) for the components and they all seemed to work, they are still up to date but you should take a raspberry pi 3 instead of the raspberry î 2 to be compatible with the new post processing version

Best regards
Francklin

Thanks Francklin.
I installed it on raspberry 3 and it works fine.
Thank you.

Hello.
Is it possible to obtain different corrections via USB 3G modem?

[Francklin2]

Yes if you have a internet connexion via 3G you can acces to correction, just make sure that you 3G usb is compatible with linux and you will have to install drivers and utility for it

Is Pré-installed image of RTKbase with March 2018 update compatible with Pi3?

[Francklin2]

For the moment there is only one pre-installed image for RP3 here 👍 https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5xmVAi4jATOcEQ1TWxaOXprMk0
but the version is before the 2018 updates so you will have to update the sources files from the github and perhaps update QT4 to QT5 if it doesn't compile, I will try to update the RPI3 images for nxt month

[foxittt]

I cant compile.
I`ll wait for your update

[Francklin2]

I'm working on a new image but you can try this:

• Follow this tuto to install qtrpi http://www.qtrpi.com/faq#howtoinstall
  -Install cs2cs with sudo apt-get install proj-bin
  -got to RTKbase folder and do:
  make clean
  qmake
  make -j4

I also have some problem with the new RPI3B+ : the Jessie distrib doesnt boot on it and the new stretch is booting on the RPI3B+ but installing QT5 on it is not easy, if I do on a fresh image ,: sudo apt-get install qtcreator qt5-default I can compile but the part of rtkbase about post processing wrote in qt5 is not working (it's ok on desktop).

The utility for USB 3G modem wants admiistrative password.
Can you write it?

[Francklin2]

Wich utility is it ? I saw there is differents one depending on USB 3G dongle model.
I updated the spurces and it should build on rpi3 now , so I can start to work on new image now

Small feedback from here. We used the GoogleDrive link in the wiki for a Raspi 3. Booted flawlessly, boot screen came up and everything worked fine.
We have two ublox C84-M8P-3 and want to use one as base, the other as rover. My student will connect the ublox to the Raspbi tomorrow and see how far she gets.

@Francklin2 would you think your build would work out of the box for this setup, or do we need to install / compile more?
We just need a decent and stable build, not the very latest.
