SparkFun RTK Settings File

All device settings are stored both in internal memory and an SD card if one is detected. The device will load the latest settings at each power on. If there is a discrepancy between the internal settings and a settings file then the settings file will be used. This allows a collection of RTK products to be identically configured using one 'golden' settings file loaded onto an SD card.

All system configuration can be done by editing the SFE_[Platform]_Settings_0.txt file (example shown above) where [Platform] is Facet, Express, Surveyor, etc and 0 is the profile number (0, 1, 2, 3). This file is created when a microSD card is installed. The settings are clear text but there are no safety guards against setting illegal states. It is not recommended to use this method unless You Know What You're Doing®.

Keep in mind:

For example, if you only wanted to set up two wireless networks for profile 2, you could create a file named "SFE_Express_Settings_1.txt" that only contained the following settings:

profileName=a name you choose
enablePvtServer=1
wifiNetwork0SSID=your SSID name 1
wifiNetwork0Password=your SSID password 1
wifiNetwork1SSID=your SSID name 2
wifiNetwork1Password=your SSID password 2
wifiConfigOverAP=0

These settings on the SD card will overwrite the settings in the RTK Express internal memory. Once you select this profile on your RTK Express, the SD card file will be overwritten with all of the merged settings.

Forcing a Factory Reset

If the device has been configured into an unknown state the device can be reset to factory defaults. Power down the RTK device and remove the SD card. Using a computer and an SD card reader, open the SFE_[Platform]_Settings_0.txt file where [Platform] is Facet, Express, Surveyor, etc and 0 is the profile number (0, 1, 2, 3). Modify the sizeOfSettings value to -1 and save the file to the SD card. Reinsert the SD card into the RTK unit and power up the device. Upon power up, the device will display 'Factory Reset' while it clears the settings.

Note: A device may have multiple profiles, ie multiple settings files (SFE_Express_Settings_0.txt, SFE_Express_Settings_1.txt, etc). All settings files found on the SD card must be modified to guarantee the factory reset.
