GPS-RTK Raspberry Pi Hat offers high precision positioning in real-time

Sep 18, 2022 — by Giorgio Mendoza 3,528 views

SB-Components recently launched a Raspberry Pi Hat integrating the ZED-F9P module which is a GNSS receiver that can simultaneously measure signals from constellations such as GLONASS, GPS, Galileo and BeiDou with 0.2 meters accuracy. 

The ZED-F9P is a positioning module that combines real time kinematics (RTK) and multi-band GNSS technology for applications that require centimeter-level accuracy in real time, (i.e. robotics, autonomous navigation, etc.).

Horizontal position accuracy with RTK is ~0.010m and ~2.5m without RTK. The maximum navigation update rate is 25Hz for RTK, 20Hz for PVT and 20Hz for RAW data. See the table below for more details.

As seen below, this sensor-fusion board integrates a 1.14” LCD to display positioning information, four LEDs, an antenna connector, a USB type-C and a standard 40-pin GPIO expansion header. According to its product page, the device can support  the Jetson Nano board, Google Coral and other development boards with similar form factor.

The ZED-F9P supports a few communication protocols (UART, SPI, USB), however, this specific Raspberry Pi Hat has been configured to work via UART. A representative from the company mentioned they will release comprehensive documentation after the Kickstarter campaign ends.

Further information

The GPS-RTK Raspberry Pi Hat is available on Kickstarter.com. The combo with the GPS-RTK board and the GPS antenna is available for $297. There is a more expensive pledge (~$371) that includes a 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 model B, an HDMI cable, a GPS antenna, an SD card and a power supply adapter. Lastly, the company is offering a similar product in a breakout form factor for ~$280.
