u‑blox and ArduSimple announced a partnership developing the SimpleRTK2B single-board computer (SBC). The device, built around up to three u‑blox ZED-F9P high-precision GNSS receivers, simplifies the development of centimeter-level positioning solutions supporting real-time kinematics (RTK), according to the companies.
The [high-precision positioning] technology’s adoption continues to be held back by one key factor: its increased complexity compared to standard-precision positioning,” said Marc Castillo, Senior GNSS Consultant at ArduSimple.
The SimpleRTK2B-SBC was developed to make RTK technology as close to “plug-and-play” as possible. In addition to working as a stand-alone solution, customers can program their own applications with the company’s user-friendly microPython API.
