All,
I’m not getting the vertical accuacy I need at a mine site using GCPs (unless I use ALOT of them).
I’m considering adding a kit to my drone to get PPK results.
Does anyone have any recommnendations? I have Emlid RS2s already.
What kit do you attach you Emlid M2s to your drone with?
Has anyone tried Topodrone as well?
What are your general opinions?
Joe
If you are using gcps properly I don’t understand why you wouldn’t be getting good enough accuracy for mining? How large an area are you flying? What size are the stockpiles?
If you don’t mind spending the $2,000 then Topodrone is a great kit and will provide L1/L2 GNSS but for $600 you could get the M+ instead of the M2 and the Tuffwing kit. L1 only is fine for a drone because it is in the air and free of obstructions. You can still use your RS2 as a base. You just turn off L2 when you PPK. Another advantage of the Tuffwing is that it is a snap-On snap off so you can take it off whenever you don’t need it. Either way I would still use gcps just for horizontal map alignment if you are trying to do flight to flight deltas.
We’ll continue this topic here.
