ArduSimple has released two new evaluation platforms, simpleRTK 4 Pro and simpleRTK 4 Heading, providing developers and system integrators with compact, high-performance millimeter-level RTK GNSS receivers for evaluating the latest Septentrio mosaic-G5 GNSS receiver technology.
Built around the mosaic-G5 P3, the simpleRTK 4 Pro is a multiband RTK evaluation board designed for precise positioning applications requiring reliability and flexibility. The board can operate as a standalone GNSS receiver when connected to a PC, tablet, or mobile device, or be easily integrated as a shield with platforms including Arduino, ArduPilot/Pixhawk, Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, and STM32 Nucleo. Supporting triple-band L1/L2/L5 operation across all major global constellations, the receiver delivers centimeter-level RTK accuracy and update rates of up to 20 Hz, making it well suited for autonomous navigation, robotics, and advanced surveying development.
For applications requiring both positioning and orientation, the simpleRTK 4 Heading integrates the mosaic-G5 P3H variant with dual-antenna support. In addition to high-accuracy RTK positioning, the board provides precise vehicle heading as well as pitch and roll estimation, achieving heading accuracy down to 0.15 degrees with a 1-meter antenna separation. This capability makes it particularly suitable for unmanned vehicles, maritime platforms, and mobile mapping systems.
Both boards feature an onboard XBee socket for expansion with ArduSimple communication plugins for RTK boards, including radios, networking modules, dataloggers, and cellular connectivity, and support dual plugin operation via an optional shield. The new mosaic-G5-based boards complement Septentrio’s existing mosaic-X5 and mosaic-H offerings, delivering the same proven precision and AIM+ interference mitigation capabilities in a smaller, more accessible form factor for product development and performance evaluation.
