You can use this to communicate with your node computer and RTCM\/Voter Board.\n\nMicrochip MPLAB v8.66 Developement Environment<\/a><\/strong>\nIf you are building your own voter board, you will need this to program the bootloader into a blank processor. \n\nMicrochip MPLAB C30 Compiler Version 3.30C<\/a><\/strong>\nThis is needed if you wish to edit the Voter Board\/RTCM firmware code or the PCGM\/PGM code \nand then compile it so it can be written to the device. When installing, use the LITE version. \n\nENC Loader<\/a><\/strong>\nSoftware to load the firmware into the RTCM or Voter board.\n\nDOS BOX MS-DOS Emulator<\/a><\/strong>\nThis can be used to run old programming software on Windows 7\/8\/10 and 11 for radios such as the Motorola Maxtrac, GM300 and M120. \n\nLady Heather's Disciplined Oscillator Control Program<\/a><\/strong>\nThis is a very handy program for observing the GPS data from a GPS receiver.

This Linux tool has a bunch of troubleshooting uses and It's useful for seeing if you are receiving traffic from RTCM's (or any other traffic) at the host computer. For example, to see traffic on the Voter port from a specific RTCM, you can use this command. \n\nngrep port 667 and src host IP_ADDR_OF_RTCM<\/em><\/mark>\n\nIf you want to see the traffic from all your RTCM's\/Voter Boards you can just run this command which will list all packets coming to the device on port 667. \n\nngrep port 667<\/mark><\/em>\n\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
