We are happy to announce Stable releases of Emlid Raspbian Image for Navio+ / Navio2 and ReachView app for Reach / Reach RS! Along with releases, we call everyone to check out our new lovely documentation!
ReachView 2.2.7
ReachView 2 is out of beta! We’ve started shipping the shiny new Reach RS and user feedback is already coming in. Thanks for the fast reports! If you have ReachView v2.2.4 or later, then you should receive a notification inside ReachView the next time you boot your receiver.
New features
- 3G/LTE USB modem support
Reach now includes drivers for USB modems. You can configure the modem on your PC and then just plug it in your Reach via the OTG cable. Overall, usage should be seamless, but Linux might not support every device you try. We’ve had a chance to try the following two models: ZTE MF 823 and Huawei E171. Feel free to share your results, so we can expand the list of tested modems.
Bug fixes
- Fixed an app crash, which happened if you turn off the base output configured to use LoRa
- Reworked USB-OTG on Reach RS. It didn’t function properly on the pre-production units, but now those days are in the past.
Stay tuned, as more updates are coming!
