![]() ![]() One of the disadvantages is that it does require soldering since there are no host USB ports or headers on the board. The advantages of the Pi Zero over the Beaglebone are it’s lower price and smaller size. In this post I will describe setting up a Pi Zero for this purpose. ![]() I have used both Beaglebone and Pi boards to do this and find they each have their advantages. They can also be used to process the data but in this post I will focus on collecting the data for post-processing later. Of course, if you want to collect base and rover data, that means lugging around two laptops, which if added to the cost of the system, start to make it not look so low cost and also not so convenient since the laptops are so much larger than the receivers.Īn inexpensive alternative to the laptop is to configure one of the many linux-based single board computers that are available to collect the data. The easiest way to collect GPS data from the u-blox receivers is simply to plug the receiver into a laptop PC through an FTDI serial to USB converter and run STRSVR or RTKNAVI as I’ve previously described.
