## Description

This compact high-precision positioning board combines a Quectel LG290P GNSS RTK receiver with an Espressif ESP32-PICO-MINI-02 MCU module. It runs SparkFun’s RTK Everywhere firmware, letting it operate as a base station or rover for precision navigation projects.The ESP32 adds WiFi, Bluetooth® and BLE connectivity, so the board can work as an NTRIP caster or client. A 4-pin locking JST-GH connector supports RTCMv3 correction data from a local base station, while the GNSS receiver supports quad-band, multi-constellation reception.When paired with the separately available Portability Shield, the board gains a 1.3” OLED display, a five-way navigation button, microSD data logging and a LiPo charger with fuel gauge. These functions operate plug-and-play without needing new code.The RTK Everywhere firmware is open-source, so users can inspect, modify and extend the device’s functionality for longer-term maintenance and feature expansion.Features:GNSS receiver: Quectel LG290P quad-band, GNSS moduleConcurrent signal reception: 5 + QZSSFrequency bands: L1, L2, L5, E6 frequency bandsGNSS constellation: GPS (USA)GNSS constellation: GLONASS (Russia)GNSS constellation: Galileo (EU)GNSS constellation: BDS (China)GNSS constellation: QZSS (Japan)GNSS constellation: NavIC (India)SBAS system: WAAS (USA)SBAS system: SDCM (Russia)SBAS system: EGNOS (EU)SBAS system: BDSBAS (China)SBAS system: MSAS (Japan)SBAS system: GAGAN (India)Anti-jamming: Built-in NIC anti-jamming unitMCU module: ESP32-PICO-MINI-N8R2 moduleFirmware: RTK EverywhereWireless connectivity: Provides WiFi/BT connectivityWiFi: WiFi 802.11b/g/nBluetooth: BluetoothMode: Operates as a base stationMode: Operates as a roverRTCMv3: Can transmit RTCMv3 messages locally using the built-in ESP-NOW radio (2.4GHz)RTCMv3: Can receive RTCMv3 messages locally using the built-in ESP-NOW radio (2.4GHz)RTCMv3: Can transmit RTCMv3 messages by connecting external SiK Telemetry radiosRTCMv3: Can receive RTCMv3 messages by connecting external SiK Telemetry radiosNTRIP: Can function as an NTRIP caster through WiFiNTRIP: Can function as an NTRIP client through WiFiNTRIP: Can function as an NTRIP caster through Bluetooth®NTRIP: Can function as an NTRIP client through Bluetooth®NMEA: Can transmit NMEA messages to a graphical information software (GIS) app on any mobile device when paired as a Bluetooth® devicePortability Shield support: Provides a 1.3” OLED display when combined with the Portability ShieldPortability Shield support: Provides a five-way button to navigate configuration settings when combined with the Portability ShieldPortability Shield support: Displays PNT data when combined with the Portability ShieldPortability Shield support: Provides a microSD card slot for data logging when combined with the Portability ShieldPortability Shield support: Provides a LiPo battery charger with a fuel gauge when combined with the Portability ShieldFirmware: Open-source RTK Everywhere firmwareSpecifications:Button: EPS32 ResetButton: ESP32 BootBreakout board dimensions: 1.70" x 1.70" (43.2mm x 43.2mm)Mounting holes: Four mounting holesMounting hole compatibility: 4-40 screw compatibleInput Voltage Range: 3.0 to 5.5V (5V pin)Connection: 19 PTH pinsConnection: 4-pin JST-SH Qwiic connector (x2)Connection: USB-C connectorConnection: 4-pin locking JST-GH connectorConnection: SMA antenna connectorConnection: u.fl antenna connectorLED: STAT -
