In our latest video, we discover how these two boards come collectively to create a strong, moveable, and versatile GNSS surveying machine.
The RTK Postcard reaches its full potential as a surveyor when mixed with the Portability Protect, combining the quadband reception of the LG290P with the show and datalogging capabilties of the protect. Try our newest video to observe us demo it, and maintain studying to study extra about all of the units concerned.
The SparkFun RTK Postcard: Excessive Precision and Full Flexibility
