that was the firmware before 51.376. no touching. there was another update today. I forgot to mention the version shown in the video. But I will also test the new version and report back if there is a real improvement
I'm interested in the materials you used to mount the Luba 2 antenna. I see you used part of the regular surface rod with some sort of wall fastener, stand offs and clamping devices. I need to mount mine on my roof, but the architecture does not work well with the L shaped rod. This would work perfectly for me. Can you provide the details and material? Thanks!
Yes. I have installed an external WiFi antenna. It extends my home signal. Alternatively, you can also install a mobile phone card in the Luba. This way you can also control it when you are on the move.
@@Steelpanther48 okay. Is the Wi-Fi extender right outside of your home (close to the router) or is it a little distance away from the router outside? Does this actually help? I thought it relied on GPS? The better question might be how does it help?
@@kensingtonwick The antenna is a little outside the house on the carport. I don't have an extender in the house by the window that reaches the carport. The antenna then has a range of about 200 m in the garden.
@@Steelpanther48Okay so the wifi extender (and wifi in general) helps keep a signal between the RTK and the Luba? And if so, this would aid in helping the Luba operate in a dead zone (under trees for example) when it’s not receiving a signal from the satellites?
@@kensingtonwick the wifi has nothing to do with the RTK. WiFi is only needed to control the Luba remotely or to carry out an update. the RTK signal from the antenna is different and strong enough. the RTK signal is needed so that the Luba has a fixed GPS point as a reference and is therefore accurate to within 2 cm. normal GPS without RTK would be accurate to 3-5 m. the wifi has nothing to do with the RTK reception. the Luba 2 also runs under trees because it can use the camera when reception is poor. that wasn't the case with the Luba 1. When we talk about poor reception, it's not the signal from the Luba and the RTK antenna, but the poor reception from the Luba to the satellite, disrupted by trees and gas walls. the RTK radio signal has a range of more than 200 m on a frequency of 2.4 GHz.
