1 Introduction
The C099-F9P board is a convenient tool that allows customers to become familiar with the u-blox
ZED-F9P high precision module performance. The board provides facilities for evaluating the product
and demonstrating its key capabilities. The main components are:
• A ZED-F9P module for use as a RTK rover or reference station
• An ODIN-W2 short-range module to provide untethered operation using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth
• Power supply options comprising a USB connection, LiPo cell with recharging ability, and 6-17 V
DC input

• Small and light board (110 x 55 mm) with Arduino R3 shield connections for host expansion
The board comes pre-configured to connect wirelessly via Bluetooth to a host. This makes it possible
to stream in RTCM corrections while sending back logged data using u-center evaluation software [3].
There is an option to use two C099-F9P boards together, one as a reference station and the other as
a rover, sending corrections over a Wi-Fi connection.
The Guide is split into several useful sections:
• The Quick Start section provides information to get up and running straight out of the box
• The C099-F9P Description identifies the boards facilities
• Using the C099-F9P provides a comprehensive guide for in-depth usage
• Rover operation using NTRIP shows some different ways of connecting to a service
• The final part details using two C099s as a Reference/Rover pair
