Still seems like a possible work-around for a free caster. At least I 
haven't experienced anything bad so far from it.

Sounds good?

I've got another question regarding the u-blox M8P:

The rover's green LED is flashing which the user guide is saying to mean 
the M8P is in RTK Float mode (status).
I am using gpsd to receive all informations from the rover and check the 
gps_data_t => status (github: gps_fix_t.status).
The status returns me a 2 (DGPS). How is that? Is it because my base has 
a too less accuracy for RTK? (20m accuracy)
If so could you please tell me what accuracy of the base I should seek 
for? (What accuracy is needed for RTK?)

My target is to get the status 3 (RTK float) from the rover. My 
assumption is that my base isn't accurate enough. You've got other ideas 
that could improve it?
