Waveshare ZED-F9P GPS-RTK HAT for Raspberry Pi Centimeter Level Accuracy
Description
Waveshare ZED-F9P GPS-RTK HAT is a high-precision GPS-RTK HAT built around the u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS module. It is designed for Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Arduino, and STM32 projects that need centimeter level accuracy, RTK positioning, and reliable multi-band GNSS reception for robotics, surveying, mapping, precision agriculture, and navigation systems.
The official Waveshare Wiki highlights the ZED-F9P as a dual-band, multi-constellation GNSS solution with RTK convergence in seconds, support for reference station and positioning terminal roles, and moving base RTK support for heading and attitude applications. That makes this Waveshare ZED-F9P GPS-RTK HAT especially valuable for users searching for a Raspberry Pi RTK GPS HAT, u-blox ZED-F9P board, or centimeter level GNSS module.

Features

FAQ
What makes this Waveshare ZED-F9P GPS-RTK HAT different from a normal GPS board?
The key difference is RTK positioning. This ZED-F9P GPS-RTK HAT is designed for centimeter level accuracy, while ordinary GPS boards usually stay at meter-level positioning.
Can this board be used with Raspberry Pi only?
No. The official material also mentions Jetson Nano, Arduino, and STM32, although Raspberry Pi is the main HAT-style target.
Does it support moving base RTK?
Yes. The official Waveshare Wiki specifically highlights moving base RTK for heading and attitude use cases.
Does it support U-Center?
Yes. U-Center is one of the official software workflows for configuring the u-blox ZED-F9P module.
What kind of projects is it best for?
It is best suited to RTK positioning, precision agriculture, robot navigation, surveying, GIS, and other high-accuracy GNSS applications.
