Hello
It’s be a wile since using arduno so a little out of touch.
A question if I may, which board would be most suitable to receive and process gps rtk, height only + 4 position/angle sensors (Bluetooth) in order to calculate hight of a 3 hinge arm(excavator), do the calculations and display the results on a touch screen?
Also which sensors would be wether and shock resistant.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
Are you planning to use GPS to calculate the position of an excavator arm?
Are you aware that the GPS error is usually about few meters?
Yes I am but hope to use RTK to improve the error.
Do you have a RTK-improved GPS module?

Not yet, but have had in the past for agricultural use. I am still in the feasability stage.
I tend these days to use ESP32 microcontrollers for industrial projects
powerful, plenty of flash, SRAM (for a microcontroller) and IO, onboard WiFi, Bluetooth Classic and BLE
compatible with Arduino IDE
note it uses 3.3V logic so be careful when attaching 5V logic devices
Thanks I’ll look into that
Sparkfun is the best source of DIY RTK modules and advice.
Yes it’s my bedtime reading at the moment
I generally use ESP32 for anything involving BLE. I have been using the HWT905 inclination sensor for a project but I haven't used it outside yet. I think it's IP-66 rated, but I don't have time to check the datasheet. But it's cheap and works well for what it is.
