Hi everyone, I’m looking for help from DIYers and 3D printing enthusiasts in the Yarbo community to design a custom mount for a GPS amplifier setup that will replace the High RTK antenna mount on the Yarbo core module. What I’m Trying to Build: A replacement mount that can securely house the ArduS…

I can help you design and print something. I have a couple ideas. One would be to redesign the entire mount and the other would be to create a slip mount that slides over the existing RTK mount. I’ll send you a DM.

That seems small enough that it could easily tuck inside using just a short jumper to connect to the antenna, have you looked under the cover yet? Somewhere in the forum someone made a photo study of replacing the cable, may be able to tell from that. Then secondly, since you have it installed alre…

this likely won’t help what you are wanting it to help. This is for extending the cable length. This isn’t for increasing the GPS sensitivity. For that, you need a new antenna. However, multipath issues definitely can’t be fixed by a more sensitive antenna. From the site selling it: “An inline a…

Good point(s)! I mostly wanted to see if the high RTK mounts could be useful for anything besides extra pieces! I’m still not quite sure what the root cause is for the signal disconnects. Is there a way to determine if it’s a multipath issue vs line-of-sight issue? I was almost positive it was multi…

There are some playing with $150+ triband helical antennas (similar to what Yarbo is using). I am sure those will provide a good signal, but probably not enough to justify the costs. Especially if they get broken off by a branch or something else. As for how to determine the multi path issues, th…

@bryan.wheeler - To add more work to your plate, a brief article distilling your GPS expertise for folks to learn from and help diagnose issues would be excellent. I’m sure Yarbo would be willing to post it on their site as a Support KB article, yes? You will get a cookie - I promise.

I fell for the cookie trick last time. :joy: Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. :thinking: I do like cookies though. There are some good KB articles on the support site. Here are some. [image] [2024] What Factors Affect GPS Signal Quality? For Yarbo, you can see s…

Just to add to what Bryan is saying I did some research around similar issues I was having and if it’s truly multipath related issues then a ground plate is more the typical GPS recommended solution. I was able to make something and it really did very little to help though. The antenna being use…

[image] Wes: It would be a nice add I think to have some additional information in the debug screen around this (e.g., # shared satellites seen by rover and base). Great suggestion! You should add that to this list. [image] Additional Diagnostic Information Suggestion and F…
