Core Concepts

Device Placement

Reference this Youtube on different ways to place the RoboDot.

The RoboDot's physical placement is crucial for optimal operation:

  • Requires unobstructed sky view for satellite reception

  • Must be stable and secure as a base station

  • For absolute referencing workflows, must maintain consistent position over a specific point

Mounting Options

Tripod Mount

  • Uses 1/4-20 thread for photography/lighting tripods

  • Ideal for elevating device in relative positioning modes

  • Requires adapter for 5/8-11 surveying poles

  • Recommended: Surveying bipods/tripods for known point positioning

Vehicle Mount

  • Magnetic mounts available for vehicle attachment

  • Note: Vehicle movement can affect operation

  • Not recommended for precision work

Ground Placement

  • Direct ground placement possible

  • Use stencil to mark operation point for reference

Fix Quality Indicators

Fix quality is an indicator of the accuracy of the GNSS estimate. When seeking the highest accuracy as a rover, expect to see a fixed indicator on the UI. When operating as a base, the base must be Surveyed for the rover to obtain a fixed status.
