A Rough Guide To Onocoy

Ono­coy is a GNSS DePIN project with a “bring your own” hard­ware invi­ta­tion. You buy a base sta­tion, set it up, and start pro­vid­ing its cor­rec­tion stream to Onocoy. 

First, you can eas­i­ly use your own data stream by con­nect­ing direct­ly with the receiv­er. Sec­ond, you can real­ly dive into the details of what you’re doing to see where you can improve. Third, using your own sta­tion requires you to learn a lit­tle bit more about the world of PNT (Posi­tion, Nav­i­ga­tion, Tim­ing), which is just flat out fascinating.

Of course, for us reg­u­lar (non-GNSS nerds), a “bring your own” sta­tion is a lit­tle intim­i­dat­ing; it ain’t quite plug ‘n play. Let’s go through the broad strokes you’ll need to do, then get down into those details to make sure you max­i­mize your rewards.

First, you have to buy a base sta­tion. The good peo­ple over at Spark­Fun were gra­cious enough to send me over the best of what they have, which is a Spark­Fun RTK Mosi­ac X5 .
