Still alive and kicking
We would be delighted to sell a system, but realistically we can’t do it for less than about £250/camera.
You won’t get much support from Screwfix.
If you set the second router to say 192.168.1.2 (assuming the first is on 192.168.1.1), you can then just change the default gateway on your device to either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.2 depending on which internet connection you want packets to go out on.
I don't know very much about the Quantron boxes, it depends if they have an output that is switched on when spreading is turned on.
If they don't have an output, then you will have to get a bit creative with a microswitch. I'd use something like this...
I'l happily hold my hands up and admit that we couldn't even get close to the sort of prices above. We spend more just buying the components in China for our power supplies that they are retailing that camera for. But it's not really comparable - you have still got to get the WiFi to the shed...
Thank you for the tag :)
It's simple enough to do
First of all you need some solar panels:

These guys are usually pretty well priced.
Then you need a 4G router, EE is by far the best option currently...
I don't fully understand, but in my case, despite having a very similar fibre optic splitter on a pole right next to our office, to get fttp, the fibre had to be run about 5 miles back to the aggregation node. Apparently the splitter was only for feeding the fttc cab, and no provision had been...
If it is genuinely connected to those pins I don't think it will work. You will have to slice into the cable and reconnect it. multimeter at the ready to bell them out and work out which are the correct wires.
This was my solution but I’m allergic to expensive OEM parts. 99p printer cable from amazon is better.
Looking at the front of the connector it’s these two pins iirc
Doesn't matter which way round.
Then set this to remote engage:
Basically the sprayer box has a little resistor between the ‘constant 12v pin’ as you called it and +12v known as a pull up resistor.
This keeps the input high (ie. at somewhere around 12v).
When a path with less resistance is available (ie. if you connect it to ground / battery -ve) the...
Normally to the ‘constant’ 12v one. The tractor will pull it low which the sprayer will recognise as a pulse. If you put the sprayer box in it’s diagnostic mode and touch the +12v one to ground you should see it register the pulse
Your not going to blow anything by trying it out
Pin 3 is wheel speed if it’s wired to standards. The Amphenol connector will have the pubs labelled. Centre pin is ground.
Just connect pin 3 on the tractor to +ve input on the sprayer box. You probably won’t need the ground cable (it should all share a common ground) but won’t do any harm to...
