DescriptionThe Waveshare LG290P GNSS RTK Module is a compact quad-band GNSS RTK module for high-precision navigation, robotics, and surveying. It supports L1, L2, L5, and E6 frequency bands, works with GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and NavIC, and uses multi-frequency observations with RTK differential data for centimeter-level positioning.The LG290P GNSS RTK module provides Type-C USB-UART, UART pins, PPS output, RTK status output, SMA antenna connection, and a 2PIN JST connector for an RTC backup battery. Its castellated holes and immersion gold design make it practical for carrier boards, mobile robots, precision agriculture, mapping systems, and autonomous navigation prototypes.For embedded prototypes, the module can connect by UART to compatible host boards such as the Waveshare Industrial ESP32-S3 Control Board. For display or field-terminal experiments, an ESP32-based host such as the Waveshare ESP32-C5 LCD Development Board is also useful for NMEA/RTCM testing.Features Quad-band GNSS RTK reception with L1 + L2 + L5 + E6 support. Multi-constellation support for GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, and NavIC. Centimeter-level RTK real-time differential positioning with RTK status reporting. Professional interference detection and cancellation for complex electromagnetic environments. Type-C port for USB-UART communication and module power supply. UART interfaces for RTCM differential input, NMEA output, and debugging. 2PIN JST connector for RTC backup battery to reduce Time to First Fix. Castellated holes for direct embedded integration.

Waveshare lists the LG290P GNSS RTK Module as supporting RTK Rover and Base use.Which GNSS systems does it support?It supports GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, NavIC, and SBAS.Can the module be used over USB?Yes. The Type-C port supports USB-UART communication and can also provide module power.Is I2C currently supported?Waveshare notes that I2C is reserved or still under development, so USB or UART should be used for current integrations.Why does the antenna need open sky?GNSS and RTK testing depends on satellite visibility. Indoor use, rain, blockage, or poor antenna placement can increase fix time and reduce accuracy.
