AgOpenGPS Prebuilt

[Jsmith2211]

Hi all,

Is anybody making an AgOpenGPS based system that is put together already and then sold as a complete system, fieldbee/trimble esque? Would be a good idea if not, as not everyone would have the skills time or inclination to do electronics. Just want to buy a kit, bolt it on and off you go, but if it could be done cheaper and open source they'd want to buy into it?

I think @Andy26 has made kits up to sell

I've got some kits like this, all setup, ready to go, as an RTK lightbar, just plug it in and off you go:

As in picture, AIO PCB, antennae, Panasonic FZ-G1 (8GB Ram, 120GB SSD), tablet holder, with Ram (1.5",C) mount, charger, power lead with Cobo plug, relay for freewheel, ethernet cable all configured and tested. £1050.

To make this autosteer just need to add a wheel angle sensor (£30) and an electric motor (£80) with either foam wheel (£30) or 3D printed cogs (£50-75).

Or hydraulic steering valve £650

Kits proudly made in Somerset coming soon.
Hydraulic steer with safety valve,
CANBUS or 4 section outputs,
Built-in 4G modem,
Separate IMU for ease of installation (the main box can be mounted anywhere),
PoE Ethernet ports for future expansion,
If you're in a new service area and happy to host a base station, free RTK.
£2950 to include everything required, except hydraulic pipework.
Currently pending UKCA marking, design review and destructive/safety testing, courtesy of some help from the boffins at the Satellite Applications Catapult.

Hello Cquick. Is there any approximate time when this kit will be available? Steering kickout sensor built in hydraulic block?

Thanks

Morning,
I'm hoping quite soon, but it depends on the design review etc.
Steering kickout sensor is implemented in software on the PCB

I've a massey with speedsteer and steering valve fitted does it still need the angle sensor?

Not if its got one fitted, likely to be one on top of king pin on front axle.

Likely able to do this over CANBUS by the sound of it:

Steering a '22 MF 6718S over CANBUS

So, finally getting time to write this one up. While look at a friend’s CVX240, I couldn’t help but admire the nice shiny new 6718S sitting next to it. Very tidy machine, jumped up in the cab, nice monitor… “aye, it’s steer ready”. Me: “oh, do you have RTK etc?”. Owner: “no, no unlocks for...

Hello Andy, are you still selling kits? And do you ship to Canada? I would also like to purchase a baraki valve to plumb into hydraulics.

Thanks,
