C099-F9P - User GuideUBX-18055649 - R02 Reference station and rover pairing Page 22 of 486 Reference station and rover pairingThis section is provided for users with two C099 boards and provides configuration information whensetting up a C099-F9P as a reference station to provide local RTCM corrections for a C099 rover. Thisconnection uses Wi-Fi connectivity to maximize range for untethered operation.6.1 Wi-Fi connection between two C099-F9P boardsThis set-up relies on establishing a peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection between two C099 boards for shortbase-line applications, e.g. drones and the like.Separate ODIN-W2 configuration files are required to enable the reference station and rover C099boards to operate as an Access Point and client respectively.Prior to use, the reference station C099-F9P needs RTCM3 output messages enabled and its positionsurveyed-in. When the device is surveyed-in it will enable output of the RTCM3 1005 message toenable the rover to begin RTK operation. Consult the Integration manual [4] for information relatingto reference station operation for more information.In this example the C099 reference station sends corrections to a C099 rover and the rover transmitsNMEA and UBX messages back to the base. The rover operation can be viewed remotely with u-centerconnected to the reference station’s ODIN-W2 COM port.Figure 28: Reference and rover C099-F9P set up.The sub-sections below describe the steps required to configure the boards for Wi-Fi operation plusthe settings needed for rover and base operation.Configuring a C099-F9P rover for Wi-Fi operationThe following steps provide guidance on configuring the C099 ODIN-W2 Wi-Fi for rover operation:☞ Disconnect any UART multiplexor jumper connections before proceeding.• Connect the rover unit via USB to a PC.• Install the u-blox s-center evaluation application.• Open s-center which will show the following view:Bidirectional peer to peer Wi-Fi linkRover BaseUSB #1 ODIN-W2 port to u-centerfor Rover data
