ArduSimple launches GNSS starter-kit with centimetre precision positioning
Aimed at those looking to test ‘proof-of-concept' with high precision positioning - Works seamlessly out-of-the-box in Europe and US -
ArduSimple today announced the availability of a range of GNSS starter-kits enabling anyone in Europe or the US interested in testing or integrating high precision centimetre accuracy for a service or product proof of concept (PoC).
Building a PoC for increasingly common applications such as autonomous vehicles where high levels of positioning accuracy is required is often a complex process. Finding compatible antennas that are tuned correctly, CPUs, modems that connect to GSM, sourcing a global SiM and then finding a suitable RTK correction engine that works in multiple regions and then mounting this all on a board is a lengthy and costly process.
Solving this issue, ArduSimple has pulled together all the components and services required into a range of starter-kits that work - straight out of the box.
Working anywhere in Europe and the US with a 4G signal the simpleSSR - Starter Kit includes:
1 simpleRTK2B-F9P V3 board
1 u-blox ANN-MB-00 Antenna for GNSS Dual Band with cable (IP67)
4G radio module with NTRIP client including RTK-SSR engine (XBee socket compatible)
2x 4G antennas with integrated cable
1x SIM card with 1-year subscription
1-year subscription to u-blox PointPerfect SSR service
Price: €799.00 / $849.00
Commenting on the start kit launch, Marc Castillo, Senior Consultant at ArduSimple, said: "Bringing together the components, high precision accuracy and connectivity in Europe and the US in one simple out-of-the-box solution will significantly speed up the process of PoC projects. We've reduced the complexity enabling engineers to focus on the feasibility of their project."
Featured Product
The maxon IDX Compact Drive with Integrated Positioning Controller
The compact brushless EC-i motor combined with an EPOS4 positioning controller delivers a highly dynamic, powerful drive package with field-oriented control (FOC), high efficiency, and maintenance-free components in a high-quality industrial housing. The maxon IDX drives are suitable for use across the entire speed range (from standstill to maximum speed) and have an extremely high overload capability. Together with a positioning controller, the integrated sensor (single turn) enables absolute positioning.
