ArduSimple offers a range of low-power dual and triple band GNSS boards, based on Septentrio, Unicorecomm and u-blox receivers and delivering positioning accuracy from sub-meter down to millimeter levels. Ideal for OEMs, the boards are fully compatible with Arduino, STM32 Nucleo, Raspberry Pi, and NVIDIA Jetson, and can also be used as an external GNSS receiver for Pixhawk and Ardupilot-based drone flight controllers.

Lightweight and low-power dual- and quad-band GNSS antennas are available that provide a range of options for millimeter- and centimeter-level positioning, with form factors including helical, OEM and choke ring. Applications include RTK base stations, surveying drones, and mass-market robotics.

ArduSimple’s range of GNSS RTK receivers delivers centimeter-accurate positioning information as well as sub-degree heading and attitude (roll, pitch, and yaw) data. These solutions include dual-antenna RTK receivers as well as GNSS/IMU sensor fusion boards, with options for smaller and larger vehicles as well as static applications.

Pre-configured Starter Kits provide everything you need to get started with a range of GNSS positioning and heading applications. Options include:

• simpleRTK2B Basic Starter Kit: Basic set of multiband RTK receiver and multiband antenna for achieving centimeter level accuracy at an affordable cost
• Base + Rover Kits: Pre-configured Medium Range (up to 1km), Long Range (up to 10km) and eXtra Long Range (up to 50km) starter kits that are ideal for rural areas with no internet coverage
• simpleRTK3B – Basic Starter Kit: Triple-band board based on Septentrio Mosaic-X5, plus a survey antenna and magnetic stand – everything you need to achieve millimeter-level accuracy and evaluate triband (L1/L2/L5) RTK GNSS technology at an affordable cost

ArduSimple also offers a range of solutions that enable you to provide your systems with RTK corrections data for enhanced positioning accuracy and performance. The company’s RTK boards are equipped with a plugin socket that allows you to add extra features such as Bluetooth, WiFi, 4G, CanBus, Ethernet, RS232, and more.
