Prerequisites

In this guide, you will find step-by-step instructions on how to set up and configure the DJI D-RTK2 and Emlid Reach RS/RS2+ base stations.

RTK is crucial for various applications, such as land surveying, cartography, precision agriculture, and infrastructure development. With centimeter-level or even millimeter-level accuracy, RTK provides highly precise mapping data. Moreover, RTK helps eliminate GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) errors that can occur due to atmospheric conditions, satellite geometry, and signal reflections. By using a base station with a known location as a reference, RTK allows for highly accurate differential corrections.

Hardware

  • DJI M300/M350

  • GNSS mobile receiver

  • Emlid RS2+ Base Station (recommended)

  • DJI D-RTK2 (supported)

  • Hovermap (HVM100, ST, and ST-X are all supported)

  • Optional: 4G SIM Card Dongle for the DJI M300 controller to allow direct connection to the CORS network (for regions where this service is available)

Software

  • Emesent Aura

  • M300: version 1.3 or higher with a valid RTK license

  • M350: version 1.4.1 or higher with a valid RTK license

  • Emesent Commander version 1.1 or higher (M350 only)

  • Hovermap Software

  • M300: version 2.7 or higher

  • M350: version 3.1 or higher

  • For AL0 customers: It is essential to have the onboard DJI SDK set up on the M300/M350 to allow GPS data to be recorded by Hovermap. Refer to the following Emesent documentation for detailed instructions:
