Septentrio mowi Open-Source Wireless GPS/GNSS Hardware

Septentrio has announced an addition to the open-source resources for its GPS/GNSS module receivers: mosaic wireless or simply mowi. 

• Combines the Septentrio mosaic-X5 or mosaic-H module receiver with a dual-mode Bluetooth and integrated Wi-Fi from the ESP32-WRover programmable module by Espressif Systems
• Open-source which enables development community to easily fit autonomous or robotic systems with communication and highly accurate and reliable GNSS positioning technology
• Empowers the native ethernet features of the mosaic module
• Designed for fast prototyping and developing proof-of-concept projects in a simple and connected way
• Facilitates accurate and reliable GNSS positioning for robotic and autonomous devices on a hardware level
• Can be used on its own or plugged into a mobile computer such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino to deliver high-accuracy positioning with high update rates for machine navigation, monitoring or control
• Internet connection via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth enables numerous industrial IoT applications, simplifying the connectivity to mobile data for the delivery of GNSS corrections needed for centimeter-level RTK positioning
• Small 47.5 x 70 mm (1.9 x 2.8 in.) board can host IoT applications in its internal memory
• Includes onboard logging and exposes interfaces such as USB, serial communication, and general-purpose pins
• Schematic’s reference design, PCB layout and documentation are openly available for prototyping or further customization
• Available to the development community on the Septentrio GitHub repository
