Board achieves high-precision GNSS positioning with RTK support

GNSS RTK 4 Click is a compact add-on board from MIKROE. Targeting high-precision GNSS positioning with RTK support, the board features the LG290P, a quad-band GNSS module from Quectel, capable of receiving signals from GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS, QZSS, and NavIC, while utilising SBAS for enhanced accuracy.

Comments Nebojsa Matic, CEO of MIKROE: “This new Click board allows designers to simply and quickly develop systems with sub-metre positioning accuracy. Autonomous navigation, UAVs, intelligent robotics, surveying, and precision agriculture are just some of the applications that will benefit.”

A new addition to the 1800-strong mikroBUS-enabled Click board family, the board supports multi-mode RTK algorithms with fast convergence times and high accuracy, as well as interference detection and integrity monitoring, ensuring sub-meter positioning in demanding environments. It features UART and I2C interfaces, a USB Type-C port for standalone configuration, and a backup battery option for continuous operation.

GNSS RTK 4 Click also features the ClickID function, which allows automatic identification by the host system, simplifying use. It is fully compatible with the mikroBUS socket and can be employed on any host system that supports the mikroBUS standard. It comes with the mikroSDK open-source libraries, offering excellent flexibility for evaluation and customisation.
