  • SD Card interface

  • Microphone & Speaker

  • 2 x CAN Interface with programmable termination

  • 2 x RS232 Serial ports

  • Wifi & Bluetooth with internal antenna

  • 2 x Digital Input

  • 1 x ambient light sensor

All of these features can be accessed via microPython as documented in this portal.

More details about the product can be found on our website here or the datasheet here.

VBOX Touch RTK

The VBOX Touch RTK looks identical to the VBOX Touch, however, it houses a multi-frequency, multi-constellation RTK capable GNSS engine to allow for centimetre level positional accuracy.

Throughout this document where VBOX Touch is referred to this includes the RTK variant unless stated, there are only minor differences to control of the serial ports as they can be used for RTK correction messages in this product, and more control and data are available from the GNSS receiver.
