HI all. I've pretty much given up on Reach. When I got them they connected but it only got single fix. I was never able to get a RTK fix. I thought that maybe the new firmware 1.2 might work. I was surprised about the very low activity on this forum about Reach. Either they all work perfectly or nobody cares. Anyway, I went through the reflash procedure - downloaded the 1.2 image. Got the intel phonelite program and installed everything. It recognizes the edison but after successfully downloading about 23%, the program reports a connnection error and restarts to retry. After a number of retries it just aborts the process. It happens on both my Reach modules and on two separate windows pc. I tried the CLI method but it does not recognize the devices at all. The emlid staff has contacted me by email, but I guess there is not much they can do if the Edison refuses to reflash.
So unless someone has some bright ideas about how to get these to work they appear to be destined to the scrap box. Sad. I had a lot of hope for the Reach after a very poor experience with PIksi. Maybe there is a reason why the cm-precision stuff costs $10,000. Maybe I would be better to buy a lottery ticket and buy a real RTK GPS.
