Page 19: Rover Operation Using Ntrip
A suitable host is a PC with internet access. A host runs an NTRIP client and streams RTCM corrections to C099-F9P through a UART or Bluetooth connection. Messages transmitted through a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi link are forwarded to I2C bus and vice versa. The user is advised to enable desired messages in both UART and I2C interfaces in ZED-F9P. -

5.2 Mobile hosting A portable rover option is offered by an Android application that utilizes a Bluetooth connection to a single C099-F9P. An example application is provided by Lefebure and it is available from Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lefebure.ntripclient. The application integrates an NTRIP client that forwards corrections received from a cellular or a wireless network to the Bluetooth interface. -

Page 23: Wi-Fi Connectivity
Wi-Fi access point and UDP server The C099-F9P RTK base can be set to operate as a Wi-Fi access point and UDP server to deliver RTCM corrections via a Wi-Fi link. For rover operation, C099-F9P can be configured either to Wi-Fi STA or Wi-Fi AP mode. - Page 24 Figure 23: Wi-Fi base and rover setup 6.3.1.2 Rover operation in Wi-Fi AP mode To connect to a C099-F9P rover via a Wi-Fi link, follow the configuration steps below: 1. Configure C099-F9P to Wi-Fi AP mode by using the CLI command in terminal: /mem_store/run wifi_ap 2.

Typically, the Wi-Fi STA mode is applicable when two C099-F9Ps (base and rover) interconnect via a Wi-Fi link. Firstly, it is recommended to configure the base as instructed in section 6.3.1.1 Base operation in Wi-Fi AP mode. Secondly, the rover C099-F9P is set up to function in Wi-Fi STA and rover mode: 1. -

(yellow LED). If the disconnection is not intended, check the Wi-Fi interface on the host PC. Wi-Fi channel congestion can be avoided by changing the Wi-Fi AP channel on C099-F9P. Typically, channel congestion is experienced when the Wi-Fi connection indicators (e.g. LEDs) are OK but no data is received. - Page 27 C099-F9P - User guide uses its own Bluetooth stack. A device that is known to work is the ASUS USB-BT400 (USB 2.0). Once installed, use the Bluetooth virtual COM port assigned to this device and not the built-in Bluetooth interface.

7.1 ZED-F9P firmware update This section shows how to update the firmware and re-enable the configuration settings required for C099-F9P. There are two possible serial communication channels to update ZED-F9P: the UART1 and USB2.0 ports. 1. To update ZED-F9P, connect to u-center via USB to the COM port identified as ZED-F9P and poll MON-VER to view the installed firmware: see Figure 13 for the Device Manager COM port view. - Page 29 C099-F9P - User guide Figure 27: Selecting u-center Firmware image folder 3.

4. Prior to firmware upload, ODIN-W2 must be started in safeboot mode. Proceed by placing a safeboot jumper and reboot C099-F9P. The locations of the safeboot pin header and the reset button are depicted in Figure 6. To confirm that ODIN-W2 started in safeboot mode, check that the ODIN-W2 activity LED remains off. - Page 32 ODIN-W2 in safe boot mode. Proceed by placing a safe boot jumper and reboot the C099-F9P. The location of the safe boot pin header and the reset button is depicted in Figure 6.
- Page 33 C099-F9P - User guide Once the connectivity software is uploaded successfully, the ODIN-W2 will be set with a baud rate of 115200 baud with hardware flow control enabled. You must change this to no hardware flow control and set the ODIN-W2 UART baud rate to 460800 to ensure sufficient link bandwidth.
