Summary

  • Recommend setting SENS_GPS_PRIME to the moving base CAN node ID when using dual antenna GPS heading on the ARK RTK GPS page
  • Added guidance in PX4 Configuration section with reasoning
  • Added as a setup step in both CAN and UART moving baseline instructions

The rover receiver in a moving baseline configuration can experience degraded navigation rate and ~900ms data latency when corrections are intermittent, making the moving base the better primary position source. See discussion in #25516.

Test plan

  • Verify docs build and render correctly
  • Confirm parameter reference links resolve
