     cd ..
     catkin_make -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

※If you know the device number "/dev/ttyACM-" but OK.

  1. Next, configure the receiver from ublox application, u-center.The usage of u-center is not described here. Below is an overview of the settings. (Here is how to use a Ublox receiver)
  • Enable UBX message ※Set to output only RAWX and SFRBX

Usage

  1. Connect the GNSS receiver and start RTKLIB.

     cd $HOME/RTKLIB
     bash rtklib_ros_bridge_sample.sh
    
  2. Check the status of RTKLIB. If GPS Time is moving, it is OK. Execute the following command in the terminal of item 3.

     status 0.1
    

※If GPS Time is not working, there may be a mistake in the receiver settings or RTKLIB settings.
