CUSTOM-BUILT GNSS SYSTEM FOR GEODETIC APPLICATIONS
Abstract
GNSS technology evolves at a fast pace and, along with it, the number of applications that are based on this technology increases. An important part of the applicability of GNSS technology is in the field of geodesy. In this article we propose to present a GNSS system that is built starting from the U-blox ZED-F9P receiver, integrated on a development board produced by SparkFun that is connected to the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B single-board computer. The Raspberry Pi computer and the development board made by SparkFun allows great flexibility in making such a system. The article will present physical and logical connections between all the equipment used and, also, there are presented several programs made in the Python programming language for different applications that can be designed from this custom-built system. These applications may include geodetic monitoring, real-time kinematic measurements, using the system as a permanent station or RTK correction server. We will also present other equipment that can equip this system to make it suitable for different geodetic applications.
