MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) A second man has been sentenced for trying to drive a vehicle into the public safety building in Muscatine, Iowa, in August. KWQC-TV reports that 22-year-old Marc Anthony Castillo and his 25-year-old brother, Gilberto Daniel Castillo III, both pleaded guilty in March to several charges. Marc Castillo was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison. His brother was sentenced last month to 12 years in prison.
The men were both charged with assault on a police officer, second-degree criminal mischief and criminal gang participation. Gilberto Castillo also admitted to a charge of operation while intoxicated.
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.
