How to use ArduSimple RTK receiver with FieldBee?
- Connect GNSS receiver to your Android device with USB cable. Ensure that your Android device is connected directly using a USB OTG cable, while a regular USB cable will suffice for your board.
- Connect the RTK antenna to your receiver. Place the antenna in a location with good view of the sky or near a window for testing the functionality.
- In the GPS source menu of FIeldBee, there are several options:
- Build-in GPS is the internal GPS from your phone
- L1 or L2 Receiver and Autosteer are for FieldBee products
- Others receivers is for non FieldBee external GPS receivers
To connect ArduSimple RTK receivers we can use two options:
- Others Receivers: to connect external receiver, which is available exclusively in the paid version. However, it lacks a built-in NTRIP correction feature to achieve centimeter level accuracy.
- Build-in GPS: It is a free option to connect ArduSimple RTK receiver and and we’ll guide you how to achieve centimeter level position.

- To achieve centimeter accuracy on FieldBee, we will use Mock location. “Mock Location” is a functionality of Android OS that allows you to “fake” the position of the internal GPS, and use the position of your fancy external RTK GNSS receiver instead.
