FAQ

This page is the FAQ (frequently asked questions) for the Inspired Flight NAV RTK Base Station.

Do I need to use a laptop for RTK corrections?

• Yes, our RTK solution requires a laptop to be present to work.

I am connected to the Base Station, but my controller says I have a float signal. What should I do?

• It may take 30-60 seconds for the controller to update and display that it has a fixed signal. If the issue still persists, power off the drone and repeat the setup process.

I am unable to connect to the base station in Mission Planner. How do I troubleshoot this?

• Ensure the correct COM port is selected before connecting. If the base station still fails to connect, restart Mission Planner or the laptop.

How will weather affect my flight with RTK corrections?

• Both the IF800 and the Nav RTK Base station are capable of operating in rainy conditions. However, significant wind will affect the navigational accuracy of the drone’s flight path, even with RTK corrections.

The base station is taking a long time to acquire a fixed signal. How can I increase its speed?

• Ensure the base station is high up on the tripod (>6.5ft) and clear of any tall obstructions such as trees, buildings, etc. Also note that poor weather conditions will affect the speed at which a fix is acquired.
