I guess this replaces #9493?

[zdanek]

Yes, it enhances that code.

[zdanek]

Build fails are because I've added some rtcm code into GPS drivers, that are hosted on px4 repo. I don't know how to handle such case. I don't want to influence px4 code, but I sure about my changes.

Hopefully this can be resolved and merged soon - we are very supportive of this!

[zdanek]

Yes. I'm actively working on it. We're evaluating a quite expensive GPS receiver that supports RTK. Not every receiver, especially cheap ones, does support it. Still doing slight fixes in RTCM parsing and handling NTRIP calls. Bartek

Hi Bartek, how is the testing of NTRIP support?

[HTRamsey]

@zdanek Do you have any plans to port this to master afterwards? If not I'd be happy to do it if you don't mind. Multiple people have been asking for this

[zdanek]

@HTRamsey yes, I do. Last days were very intense in regards testing this feature. Imagine, it works even on a tablet with Android. Not only a PC.

The only thing I a support with is a PR to px4 repo because I have a fix to RTCM parsing code

zdanek/PX4-GPSDrivers@47fdaa6

Currently we have a git submodule pointing to px4 repo. I'm not sure if they will accept my fix.

Last question, @HTRamsey so shall then prepare another version for master, that is based on QT6, right?

[HTRamsey]

Perfect, thanks. @julianoes could probably help with the PX4 GPS PR. And yes it is Qt6.
