Designed and manufactured in Boulder, CO USA, the [SparkFun RTK Postcard](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/26916) is a compact development board for your high-precision positioning and navigation needs. This board combines the Quectel LG290P GNSS RTK receiver with an Espressif ESP32-PICO-MINI-02 MCU module, running our latest [RTK Everywhere firmware](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_RTK_Everywhere_Firmware). The ESP32 provides the SparkFun Postcard with WiFi and Bluetooth™ connectivity to operate as an NTRIP caster or client. Meanwhile, the 4-pin locking JST-GH connector allows users to transmit or receive RTCMv3 messages for RTK corrections from a local base station.

- The LG290P module is a quad-band, multi-constellation, high-precision, RTK GNSS receiver. The module can simultaneously receive signals from the `L1`, `L2`, `L5`, and `L6`/`E6` frequency bands of the GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS, QZSS, and NavIC GNSS constellations. In addition, the module supports SBAS augmentation systems (WASS, EGNOS, BDSBAS, MSAS, GAGAN, and SDCM), PPP services* (BDS PPP-B2b, QZSS CLAS, MADOCA-PPP, and Galileo HAS), RTCM, and RTK corrections for precision navigation with a fast convergence time and reliable performance. Connect with ease using a variety of interfaces, including UART, SPI*, and I2C*.

1212
- The ESP32-PICO-MINI-02 is a powerful MCU module with WiFi, Bluetooth™, and BLE connectivity and comes integrated with 8MB SPI flash, 2MB SPI Pseudo static RAM (PSRAM), and a 40 MHz crystal oscillator. The ESP32 microcontroller itself features two CPU cores that can be individually controlled, with an adjustable clock frequency between 80 - 240MHz and a low-power co-processor for minor tasks, such as monitoring peripherals. It supports a range of peripherals including an SD card interface, capacitive touch sensors, ADC, DAC, Two-Wire Automotive Interface (TWAI), Ethernet, high-speed SPI, UART, I2S, I2C, etc.

With the [RTK Everywhere firmware](https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_RTK_Everywhere_Firmware) that comes pre-loaded, users can seamlessly operate the RTK Postcard as a base station or rover. These modes also offer additional functions, based on the available, wireless communication options:

- Through WiFi or Bluetooth™, the RTK Postcard can also function as an NTRIP caster or client.
1818
- The RTK Postcard can transmit NMEA messages to a [graphical information software (GIS)](https://docs.sparkfun.com/SparkFun_RTK_Everywhere_Firmware/gis_software_android/) apps on any mobile device when paired as a Bluetooth™ device.

In addition to the RTK Postcard, we created the [Portability Shield](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/27510) for the convenience of users. Simply connecting these products, provides a 1.3” OLED display and a five-way button to navigate the configuration settings and display PNT data; a microSD card slot for data logging; and a LiPo battery charger with a fuel gauge to take the RTK Postcard *"on-the-go"*. All of these will operate plug-and-play without the need for new code.

The board features multiple UART ports, which are accessible through the USB-C connector, [PTH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through-hole_technology "Plated Through Holes") pins, and 4-pin locking JST connector. Users can also interface with the board through the 19 [PTH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Through-hole_technology "Plated Through Holes") pins that are broken out around the edge of the board. For the GNSS antenna, an SMA antenna connector is provided on the edge of the board; additionally, users can rework the board to utilize the u.fl connector instead. We also provide two 4-pin JST Qwiic connectors for future use, to operate the board as a peripheral device.
