SparkFun Single Board Computers Editorial Review

The Reach RS2 is a high-precision RTK (Real-Time Kinematics) GNSS receiver that can be used for applications such as surveying, mapping, and construction. It has a compact and rugged design, long battery life, and can be used in various weather conditions. The Reach RS2 can operate with an accuracy of up to 20mm, which makes it one of the most accurate GNSS receivers available in the market. The device can be connected to a mobile app, which allows for easy management of the device settings and data collection. However, it is important to keep in mind that to achieve 20mm accuracy, the device needs to be near a base station that is broadcasting RTCM 3.x data over the internet. If there is no base station in the vicinity, one will have to be created. Overall, the Reach RS2 is a great high-precision GNSS receiver that is perfect for applications such as surveying and mapping. Its compact design, long battery life, and compatibility with a mobile app make it a great choice for those who need high-accuracy data collection in the field.
