AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

[Oldmacdonald]

4.3 uses Standard F9P and the 4.1 Std version had a few problems, hence 4.3.
So no upgrades just fixes, but this is only for the Standard F9P, the Micro, v4.1 is the latest.

Its the same PCB just has a few minor issues resolved / updated on the PCB design

With regards to valves, I use a hydraforce valve on one tractor, and a factory deere Danfoss on the other, both work great...

Ah righto, thanks.

Hydraforce retrofitted?

Pin 1 should be 5V+ from PCB, Pin 4 is ground and pin 2 is signal which will be a varying voltage between 0.5 and 4.5V.

Check with multimeter if pin 2 is receiving a voltage returning to PCB?

I have no voltage return at all. 5v out ok. Also I’ve signal in pin 3/low not pin2/high is that ok?

Pin 3 is for using with OEM WAS that don't use 5V.

Are you using Land Rover sensor?
No voltage return suggests faulty WAS.

Have you checked 5V is getting to the WAS?
This will test pin 1 and pin 4 then. At the WAS check for a signal on the return pin.

Yes took plug off at was 5v there other two 0v
Yes Land Rover sensor.
grand I’ll change the 2 and 3 around and try again

Ones a ground so will be no voltage there, the other will only give a voltage if the WAS is supplied with 5v and ground.

Is this the hydraforce steering valve?

Yeah,hydraforce is fitted to a 6630 standard so no autosteer OEM gear on that tractor.

Have double checked everything again. It’s the v1 pcb incase that makes difference with wiring?

5v to WAS all working but no return signal. Ground seems to be working. Maybe faulty WAS?

Is it definitely a right hand sensor that you have as I believe they have different pin outs to the left hand

Only thing I can think is it got dropped and run over in field before it was mounted properly.

Sounds like faulty WAS.

Hi just wondering will the software run on windows 11 pro
can get a tablet from brother thats running 11 pro his work is replacing his and he can keep the old one

Yup, no issues on win11, works great

thanks

Loooovely !

Finally got a 'baraki' valve, these are all in one type hydraulic steering valves, with pressure sensors and safety's built into the one unit, available to fit load sensing and open centre, with special variants for specific brands.
Approx. £550.
There was a quite a lead time but now I believe it's relatively quick for them to be built and shipped from Poland.
This one will need 8 new hoses making up and is going in a MF8250.

Marek got back to me this morning straight away after I PM'ed him. Sent me an invoice within the hour and I paid him right away. Marek said he has loads of valves on the shelf ready to ship, so hopefully I won't have to wait too long for it to come!!!

Apart from the obvious neater installation are you expecting much improvement over the motor and cog setup?

Would that valve work with any gps system?

Not sure there will be any improvement of motor and cogs, just neater
