What it does

  • Works with Septentrio single-antenna GNSS, dual-antenna GNSS and INS receivers over serial, TCP, UDP or USB connections.
  • Publishes ASCII NMEA sentences and SBF binary blocks, including nav_msgs/Odometry for INS receivers.
  • Blends several SBF blocks into gps_common/GPSFix and sensor_msgs/NavSatFix messages.
  • Reports the status of AIM+ anti-jamming and anti-spoofing, and can configure OSNMA authentication.
  • Can convert axes between Septentrio's NED convention and ROS's ENU convention.
  • Supports configuring several RTK correction sources at once via NTRIP, TCP/IP or serial, and can play back PCAP captures for testing.
