Configuring 12d Field and Emlid Reach RS3 12d Field now supports connecting to an Emlid Reach RS3 with tilt corrections. The following steps are required to get it working. 1. Configure Emlid Reach RS3 using Emlid Flow to stream NMEA 2.

For the best performance, 12d software benefits from position streaming rates using NMEA to be at least 5Hz - preferably 10Hz. In order to output at 10Hz, the GNSS update rate needs to be 10Hz. Step 1 - Open Emlid Flow, connect to the receiver Go to Settings > GNSS settings Set the GNSS update rate to 10Hz Configure 12d Field with Emlid Reach RS3...
