Gravity: GNSS-RTK High Precision Positioning Kit-EU

SKU: KIT0198-EU

DFRobot’s entry-level RTK positioning kit offers centimeter-level accuracy within 1.5KM in open areas. It uses Quectel’s LC29HDA rover and LC29HBS base modules, plus LoRa wireless transmission. Both are L1/L5 dual-frequency, supporting GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS, QZSS. The kit has a pre-configured data link (no user setup), ideal for RTK learning, device tracking, trajectory mapping, and personnel positioning.
