I believe that the creator of the library has also ported the solution to a Beagleboard, with some pointers on how to do the same. I believe that his implementation uses a uBlox sensor (on the order of 300 dollars) coupled with a more expensive base station, capable of generating RTK corrections. This would drive down the cost from purchasing two RTK-capable units (multiple thousands of dollars). | |
