Hello All,
I am looking into move from the Satel radios with my Topcon GTS-825A with RC-2R and been reading up on SD1000 units. By chance, how can the unit work with the RC-2R, does it still need the cable or another BT unit????ÿJust starting to read into these and they seem really appealing and I like to look to move that way.
If anyone could chime in or have any SD1000 units collecting dust I might be interested if I could get them to work.?ÿ
Thanks for looking!
I recently purchased the Bluetooth kit from Troy Deaton at Deaton Geoteonics. I used it for the first time two weeks ago and it works well. I used to only use the RC2 as the only form of communication between the data collector and the robot. This works much much better. The only thing the RC2 does now is directs the to robot where to look if it looses lock. All other communication goes through Bluetooth.?ÿ
@Leegreen - Thanks! I was wondering if I would need both or could get away with one for the robot only.
@mattsib79 - So do you just put the RC2 on the prism and hit the search and the button on top? Once you do that, does the robot acquire lock on the prism then? Just trying to understand if I hit stop from tracking, I would have to do this each time? I do mainly boundary and don't track the prism continuously.?ÿ
With my FC200, which is being retired and replaced with a Ranger 2 with Carlson, I had to hit the search button for it to locate the prism. I never recall the robot searching for the prism if I hit the top button on the RC2.?ÿ
Thank you both for your assistance!
