How to set up your own base!

Message sets

Ah.. message sets. Yeah, they’re not fun.

When we set up our rtk2go connection, we did little other than put in the caster address, password and mount point name.

That section, RTCM messages, you likely left well alone.

Messages

For reference, and in case you ever lose them, this is them:

1004,1005(10),1006,1008(10),1012,1019,1020,1033(10),1042,1045,1046,1077,1087,1097,1107,1127,1230

However, we found in testing that older John Deere kit was not happy with that set, and in fact, it wanted this:

1004,1006,1008,1012,1013,1019,1020,1033,1045,1046,1230

Now, this presents us with a problem - we can only send one set to rtk2go, for one mount point. However, the author of rtkbase has extended the code base so that we can set multiple message sets up, but this isn’t in full release as yet. It is coming tho!

If you’re wanting to use this with John Deere, ping us a message on Facebook.

In time, we can simply reserve two mount points, eg “BALLOCH” and “BALLOCHALT”, and publish the default list to BALLOCH, and the shorter JD-friendly list to BALLOCHALT.

I’d recommend we stick with the MOUNTPOINT / MOUNTPOINTALT naming scheme to make life easier for folks who are using this.
