Map rotation in Stakeout

Nuwa app has always been committed to favorable user interaction experience. During the staking process, we often find that we are still some distance away from the target point. At this time we need to go to the target point for staking, but a simple connection to the target point in the app is not enough. This line is not intuitive enough that can't directly tell us which direction should go and how many meters should walk.
Therefore, in the previous versions of Nuwa, we added a large blue arrow to the stakeout interface. It will calculate the direction that the surveyor should move based on the azimuth of the compass and the target point in the controller. Although this indicates the direction intuitively to a certain extent, it is not the final goal for Tersus who strives for excellence.


In the latest Nuwa version, we added the map rotation function, which can be turned on by selecting [Rotate map when staking] in config of the Stakeout interface. The meaning of map rotation means that the background map displayed in the controller will be rotated according to the face orientation of the surveyor; when the surveyor selects the point to be staked out, the point to be staked out will be displayed on the rotated map and will be displayed graphically telling you intuitively that you should go forward, right, left front or left back.


Interestingly, if you are using the Oscar Ultimate, the tilting direction of the ranging pole will also be displayed during the tilting and stakeout process. During the tilting process, it means that the position of the pole tip is the position to be staked out, so you only need to pay attention to whether the position of the pole tip reaches the point to be staked out.


Enjoy the new staking experience brought by Tersus!

Tersus Geomatics Office - Static Surveying - Data Processing

Tersus Geomatics Office is integrated office software to manage and process data for NeoRTK, the RTK survey receiver. It is laid out with visualized toolbars and logical icons to easily handle GNSS data processing, baseline processing and network adjustment, etc. It is the software set to import, update and analyze data effectively.  Watch the video to know how to do data processing after static surveying data collection with NeoRTK.  Learn more, click here .  Inquiry, click here . 

What is CORS network? How to connect to CORS network with external Bluetooth module and mobile phone?

A CORS is a Continuously Operating Reference Station. The CORS is an appealing way to do RTK due to its convenience and large coverage area. While Tersus Precis-BX305 currently does not support build-in NTRIP client feature. An alternative way to connect CORS network is employing external Bluetooth module and a cellphone. Here is a detailed procedure about how to connect to CORS Network with Precis-BX305 board.  Demonstration of connecting Precis BX305 to CORS Network Hardware & Software Requirement Precis-BX305 GNSS antenna GNSS antenna cable  External Bluetooth module Bluetooth cable Cell phone (android system) 5V DC charger Software required Ntrip client (free android apps)    Connect to CORS Network Please follow below steps.  Connect GNSS antenna to Precis-BX305. Connect external Bluetooth module to either COM1 or COM2 of the board Connect to power supplier and plug in/turn on the power Turn on the Bluetooth of the mobile phone and scan and pai

Integration with Autopilots

Precis-BX305 board can be integrated with autopilots. In this article, the connecting to Pixhawk flight control is used as an example. A cable is used to connect the COM1 port of Precis-BX305 board and the GPS port of the Pixhawk. It is noticed that the GPS port need a 6pin PicoBlade connector while the COM1 port is a 5pin PicoBlade connector. The pin definition of the Pixhawk GPS port is listed in Table 1.  With regarding to the power consumption, we recommend using external power sources. Please also pay attention to the baud rate setting of Pixhawk as the default baud rate of Precis-BX305 board is 115200. The Pixhawk can only recognize the NMEA sentence with GP NMEA talker. Incorrect NMEA talker configuration may cause connection failure. Then you need to mount the GNSS antenna and tether the board on your vehicle. Please beware of following instructions when you mount the GNSS antenna to your drone. ■ Place the module on the outside of your vehicle (in an elevated posi
