GNX ​

Overview ​

The Olive Robotics GNSS module is a compact and versatile navigation sensor that provides high-precision positioning and location information for robotic systems. It features a high-sensitivity GNSS receiver and a built-in antenna that provides accurate and reliable positioning information even in challenging environments.

Key Features ​

Introducing the OLV-GNX01, a high-performance GNSS module designed by Olive Robotics for seamless integration onto your ROS-based robotic system. With its NMEA-0183 compliance, this GNSS module is capable of generating GLL, GGA, VTG, and RMC messages, providing you with accurate and reliable location data.

The OLV-GNX01 is capable of tracking up to 22 satellites simultaneously while searching for 66 satellites, ensuring maximum satellite coverage and accuracy. The module produces messages of type 'sensor_msgs/NavSatFix' and 'sensor_msgs/NaxSatStatus', making it easy to integrate with your robot's existing navigation system.

Whether you are operating in urban or rural environments, the OLV-GNX01 provides unparalleled accuracy and reliability. With its compact size and easy installation, the OLV-GNX01 is the perfect solution for your global positioning needs.

Setup ​

1. Follow the Quick Start Guide for Olive Robotics robot modules to connect the device and start using it.

2. When the GNSS is correctly connected to your system, you can check that the expected ros topics are present. On your host PC run:

   ros2 topic list

   ros2 topic list

   The following ROS topics showed be shown:

   /olive/gnx/id01/gnx
   /parameter_events
   /rosout

   /olive/gnx/id01/gnx
   /parameter_events
   /rosout

3. Visualize the data using one of the available options.

4. Change the parameters like IP, ROS topic name, etc. using the embedded web interface. You just need to open your browser on your host computer and enter the IP address of the device. If you didn't change the default IP address, then it must be 192.168.7.1.

ROS Topics ​

Advanced Settings ​

The device allows certain parameters to be changed at runtime. To get an overview of all changeable parameters use ros2 param list. To change a parameter use ros2 param set /dcm_gnx <parameter> <new_value>. These are the supported ROS parameters.
