Overview
WTRTK-M is a high-precision RTK differential positioning module built on the u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS engine. It tracks GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS concurrently and delivers centimeter-level accuracy after RTK correction. The module provides dual-frequency reception, 5 Hz real-time output for mapping/autonomous applications, and a PC tool for one-key configuration of mobile/base stations and route visualization. Anti-interference and calibration technologies enhance data stability and security.

How RTK Works (brief)
A fixed base station computes satellite-measurement error versus its known position and broadcasts RTCM differential data. The mobile station applies these corrections to achieve real-time, centimeter-level positioning.

Interfaces & Indicators
Antenna: SMA-K (with IPEX option).
UART ports (TTL, 4-pin each):
-
P1 (right) – VI (3.6–6.0 V, 5 V rec.), G (GND), T1 (TX), R1 (RX).
-
P2 (left) – VO (3.6–6.0 V, 5 V rec.), G (GND), T2 (TX), R2 (RX).
P2 is used to input/output RTCM; P1 outputs NMEA data. P1/P2 VCC are internally connected—power from either one.
LEDs
-
PWR: Red ON = power applied.
-
TX1/TX2: Green flashes = port has data output.
-
PPS: Off before fix; blue flashes after 3D positioning.
-
RTK: Off when not in RTK; blue flashes in RTK Float; on in RTK Fixed.
Connection & Software
-
Wired setup: connect antenna to SMA; connect UART1 to PC to view location data.
-
Base/Mobile: set one module as base (outputs RTCM); the mobile consumes RTCM to achieve RTK—mobile can be used directly as an RTK rover after receiving corrections.
-
PC software: track visualization, data view, and one-key base/rover configuration.
Notes
-
Default baud is 115 200 bps. If you raise the output frequency, increase baud accordingly to avoid overflow (practical upper rate ≤ 5 Hz on standard links).
-
Custom development supported.
