Setup
a. Connect the Vision-RTK 2 to the power supply connector (3). The
voltage supply level should be between 5-36 VDC, typically 1.5A@5V.
2. Wi-Fi: connect to the Wi-Fi SSID with the same reference name as the
Vision-RTK 2 (e.g. fp-5cbaa2) and use the password “1234567890”.
Access the web interface with the address http://10.0.1.1
b. Connect the Vision-RTK 2 to a PC and access the web interface using
one of the following options:
1. Ethernet: connect via the Ethernet port (1). Access the web interface
with the address http://10.0.2.1

In the section Configuration:
1. Networking, connect to an available Wi-Fi network with internet access.
2. RTK, configure an NTRIP account to receive RTK corrections.
3. Fusion, adjust the options for the specific application (e.g. Tuning mode).

e. In the section Positioning → Fusion Status, enable the real-time
positioning with the blue Start button. The Vision-RTK 2 initialization
requires to be outdoors with RTK fix solutions.
f. Drive 2-3 minutes in RTK fix with some dynamic movement to
converge the IMU biases (e.g. driving a figure eight).
The Vision-RTK 2 evaluation kit provides a UART connector for transferring data in serial
mode and a Wi-Fi connection or an Ethernet port for transferring data in TCP/IP mode. The
data is published with a custom Fixposition format. Additional formats can be selected in
the section Configuration → Fusion.

d. Ensure the following points:
1. The Vision-RTK 2 is rigidly attached to the vehicle. For initial tests, it is
recommended to mount the sensor and antennas on the provided
aluminum bar to ensure the correct extrinsic parameters.
2.
In Configuration → Camera, the camera view is not covered and is not
dominated by static scenes like the sky or hood of the car. Adjust the
cutout at the bottom or top part of the camera view if it has static
objects like a vehicle hood so that these are obscured.
