PPS Signal + RTK #96

Open HaroldMurcia opened 1 month ago

HaroldMurcia commented 1 month ago

Hi,

I'm using the Noetic ROS driver for an SBG Ellipse D. I would like to stream the PPS signal on "SYNC OUT A" while the device receives RTCM corrections via "SYNC IN B – PORT B RX ODO A."

However, I don't see the signal reflected on pin 6 and it is not clear to me how to send RTCM messages.

I would appreciate any guidance or information regarding this configuration.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Harold

Hi @HaroldMurcia , Thank you for you feedback. About aidingAssignment configuration, for an Ellipse-D you should have GNSS module connected internally (gnss1ModulePortAssignment: 5 and rtcmPortAssignment: 5). You should be able to stream the PPS signal on SYNC OUT A then. For RTCM, the dedicated configuration is missing in the yaml file so the driver doesn't subscribe to you ntrip_client to provide RTCM correction to the Ellipse. cf https://github.com/SBG-Systems/sbg_ros_driver/blob/master/config/sbg_device_uart_default.yaml#L304 You can follow this section which describes how to setup RTK/DGPS https://github.com/SBG-Systems/sbg_ros_driver/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file#configure-for-rtkdgps
