										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcap">A</span>s I wrote last month, I recently got a set of NavSpark NS-RAW receivers. These can be used as a RTK GPS receiver system, but some sort of data link is needed. For shorter distances, <a href="http://www.digi.com/products/wireless-wired-embedded-solutions/zigbee-rf-modules/point-multipoint-rfmodules/xbee-series1-module">XBee modules</a> work well. Since I needed a convenient method for connecting the two devices together, both for the base station and the rover, I created an adapter board.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://cdn0.mpetroff.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/navspark-xbee-rev1.pdf">schematic</a>, <a href="https://cdn0.mpetroff.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/navspark-xbee-rev1.zip">KiCad design files</a>, and <a href="https://cdn0.mpetroff.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/navspark-xbee-gerbers-rev1.zip">Gerber files</a> are all released under the <a href="//creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution license</a>. For the base station, the board is assembled with the headers, C17, C18, C20, and U5 installed; additionally, the solder jumper is bridged, and pins 23 and 24 of the NavSpark header are bridged. The device is then powered through the NavSpark&#8217;s USB port. For the rover, all the components are installed, but the solder jumper isn&#8217;t used, and no pins are bridged. The device is then powered through the adapter board&#8217;s USB port, and both serial data streams are connected through the FTDI FT2232H chip. This way, only one connection is needed to the rover computer. For convienence, here is a <a href="http://www.mouser.com/ProjectManager/ProjectDetail.aspx?AccessID=511f512f7d">Mouser part list</a>.</p>
