Triband GNSS Mosaic
We see new iterations with GNSS with every passing year, and with the SparkFun mosaic-X5 Triband GNSS RTK Breakout, you’ll be furnished with the perfect way to start the usage of L1, L2, and L5 bands simultaneously! At the heart of the Triband GNSS RTK Breakout is Septentrio‘s most compact high-precision GNSS receiver, the mosaic-X5. The mosaic-X5 module is an extremely-low power, multi-band, multi-constellation GNSS receiver capable of turning in centimeter-stage precision at excessive replace rates. The receiver supports the GPS (USA), GLONASS (Russia), Beidou (China), Galileo (Europe), and NavIC (India) constellations, which include nearby structures (i.E. SBAS and QZSS). It additionally functions Septentrio’s precise AIM+ era for interference mitigation and anti-spoofing, ensuring best-in-magnificence reliability and scalable function accuracy.
Description
With its Real Time Kinematics (RTK) competencies, the mosaic-X5 module can perform as a base station to broadcast RTK correction information or as a rover using RTK correction records to record positions with extreme precision. The module can attain a horizontal accuracy of 6mm (~0.25in), vertical accuracy of 1cm (~zero.4in) the use of RTK, and timing precision of 5ns (5 billionths of a second). The mosaic-X5 is well matched with RTK correction data from numerous 3rd-birthday party offerings. The mosaic-X5 can also supply role updates at 100Hz (100 times in line with 2nd) for automotive and business packages.
The mosaic-X5 is an advanced chip jogging an inner net server that can be accessed thru the USB interface with a wellknown browser the use of a Linux/Windows computer. Septentrio additionally provides dozens of video tutorials to guide customers thru the configuration settings of their GNSS receivers using the internet interface. In addition to the module’s net interface, Septentrio provides software applications where customers can post-manner recorded records, configure the mosaic-X5 module, and analyze the receiver’s overall performance or the GNSS alerts for interference/spoofing. If those interface options weren’t sufficient, Septentrio’s GNSS modules are compatible with different 3rd-birthday celebration software program applications.
Beyond the competencies of the mosaic-X5 module, this board is seamless to function with no programming talents required. Gone are the instances whilst a microcontroller become required to interface with the GNSS receiver and log statistics to an SD card and whilst customers had to carry around an SD card reader to extract the information from the SD card. The mosaic-X5 Triband GNSS RTK Breakout can begin/stop logging facts at the push of a button. The equal button can also mount and unmount the SD card in your pc thru the USB interface. Users can control/configure the module, log information, and so forth., all with out a single line of code. For the customers who pick a command-line interface, Septentrio has you included. Users can nevertheless manage and configure the mosaic-X5 module via a CLI, that is useful for situations inclusive of manufacturing line checking out (in reality, this is how we tested this board).
This breakout board is an excellent middle floor for customers who would love to integrate the mosaic-X5 module right into a challenge/enclosure with get admission to to a majority of the module’s to be had pins, just like Septentrio’s developer package, but in the smaller shape factor of the assessment package. Or perhaps… you just wanted a PPS output at a 3.3V logic degree. Please, take a look at out the features tab and our hookup manual for greater info on the capabilities of this board (that we couldn’t in shape on this product description).
