ROSaic

ROS driver for Septentrio receivers

Overview

This Wiki page facilitates the installation, configuration and usage of ROSaic for people in the robotics and autonomous vehicle communities. The C++ driver can be used with the Septentrio family of mosaic receivers (e.g. mosaic-x5, mosaic-H) and is also usable with other Septentrio GNSS or event GNSS/INS receivers (e.g. AsteRx-m3], [[https://www.septentrio.com/en/products/gnss-receivers/rover-base-receivers/integrated-gnss-receivers/asterxsb, [[https://www.septentrio.com/en/products/gnss-receivers/gnss-ins-ruggedized-boxes/asterx-sbi3-pro-plus|AsteRx-SBi3] and others).

About Septentrio

Septentrio specializes in crafting, producing, and marketing high-precision, multi-frequency, multi-constellation GPS/GNSS equipment tailored for rigorous applications. Their products are widely employed across diverse industries, such as marine, construction, precision agriculture, logistics, machine control, rail, automotive, survey and mapping, geographic information systems (GIS), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and scientific research. Septentrio receivers provide consistently accurate and precise GNSS positioning, scalable down to centimeter-level precision, and are engineered to function robustly in the most demanding environments.

The technology powering these receivers guarantees high accuracy and reliability, thanks to the incorporation of GNSS+ algorithms and Septentrio's Advanced Interference Monitoring and Mitigation (AIM+) system. This cutting-edge solution safeguards against radio frequency interference (jamming) and spoofing, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the positioning data. Septentrio receivers are available in various formats, including OEM boards, enclosed receivers, and smart antennas.

ROSaic = ROS + mosaic

ROSaic is a C++ driver tailored specifically for Septentrio's mosaic receivers and beyond. This ROS package is designed to publish messages such as sensor_msgs/NavSatFix, gps_common/GPSFix, and geometry_msgs/PoseWithCovarianceStamped.msg. Additionally, the ROSaic node facilitates subscription to a set of standard NMEA sentences, adhering to the NMEA 0183 specification, and also a diverse range of proprietary Septentrio Binary Format (SBF) messages. Customizable ROSaic parameters empower users to configure differential correction services through NTRIP, catering to various hardware configurations..
