Example Code for Arduino-Reading NMEA Data via I2C Protocol

Hardware Preparation

• DFR0216-2 DFRduino UNO R3 × 1
• GNSS-RTK High-Precision Positioning Kit × 1

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE Download Arduino IDE
• Download and install the RTK Library.
• How to install libraries?

Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work

• Remove the product from its packaging and connect the rover to the Arduino according to the wiring diagram provided above.
• Switch the selector switch on the rover to the I2C position.
• Download and install the RTK library.
• Open the Arduino IDE and upload the following code to the Arduino UNO.
• Place both the base station and rover in an open outdoor area. After powering on the base station, ensure its antenna remains stationary.
• Open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE, set the baud rate to 115200, and observe the printed results.
