If your project does not allow time for submitting data to OPUS prior to RTK data collection, you can input an approximate base position to the FastRTK software, collect your points, and correct those points later through post processing.
Collecting data
Steps:
- Obtain aproximate base position
- Connect to the Arrow in the base via Bluetooth
- Launch Eos Tools Pro
- Navigate to Eos Tools Pro
terminal tab, send command: $jrtk,1
- Screenshot or otherwise take note of the approximate base position coordinates (need for data correction)
- Input coordinates to base software (see software set-up)
Correcting points
Goal: shift RTK points by the difference from the input (approximate) base position to the precise position (like obtained from OPUS).
Need:
- Approximate base position used during data collection
- Precise base position obtained from OPUS or similar
- RTK points (collected using approx. base position)

Correcting Points using AutoCAD
Like anything in Autocad / Civil3D, there are many ways to perform the same function. Below are some methods of translating coordinates using CAD. You want to translate *from* the approximate position *to* the precise (OPUS) position.
Alternatively, in a Civil3D survey database:
- Set up the mobile base
- Connect to the mobile base via Wi-fi using the DJI controller
- Under 'Custom Setup' on the DJI controller, input the IP address, port number, mountpoint name, etc.
- Save settings and wait for RTK fixed
- Fly as normal!
