AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

[Larel]

I’ve gone for a junction box next the valve and the multi core cable from there up into the cab and the ampseal plug on the box of electronic gizmos. Making up and running cables now. Must be getting close!

Replacing the RDS Delta 34i on my sprayer with an AgOpenGPS Rate Control PCB which will also do auto section control for upto 8 sections (more can be added via a separate board).

There is a Rate Control App that runs ontop of AgOpenGPS:

Just connect the 3 wires from the flowmeter on your sprayer to the PCB and then connect the two wires from the flow control/pressure control motor to the PCB, after calibrating you should be ready for AOG to control the sprayer rate and sections.


The same PCB can also be used to control the rate on a seed drill, spreader etc.

Its been a while but finally got this PCB in the tractor, section control working nicely through the RC11 PCB and wired up for rate control to the sprayer.

Took some head scratching to work out if it was safe to wire the flow sensor straight to the PCB, seems ok so far.

Hi Andy, I just wanted to check you were getting my private messages on our conversation?

Thanks

hi Andy how did you flash teency?
i cant understand wich code to use?

Yes you need to flash the Teensy, if you put all those files in a folder and open the RCTeensy.ino in Arduino IDE it will open them all.

But easiest is to use Teensy loader:

Teensy Loader app for Windows 10 and 11

www.pjrc.com

And the hex file which is in the Teensy RC11 files.

@andyinv has your Teensy flasher got the rate control hex files?

With the Teensy loader, plug in Teensy via USB, you will need to press the reboot button on the Teensy, the icons should light up after this. Then choose the Hex file, click on upload and once finished click on the reboot button.

thanks just done that i will check it tomorow

It has now - if anyone's needing it, it's here: https://github.com/lansalot/AOGTeensyFlasher/releases

Think that’s the junction box wired and ready for mounting on the tractor.

The tails for the solenoids and the press transducer have been made off. Only the WAS to terminate insitu.

13 core cable to be terminated in the cab at the ampseal plug.

Looking for contact for baraki valve, email for marek?

That's his website, best to order direct from website.

 

[Rooney]

Thanks will try that.

 

[Andy26]

Thanks will try that.

There's the option of Open Centre, Load Sensing with 30 and 60 litre options for both.

There's the option of Open Centre, Load Sensing with 30 and 60 litre options for both.

To clarify it is 30l for most tractors?

How are you guys bench testing your boards? I have the AIO GPS+Steering ECU V2.4 board. I flashed the teensy with firmware "autosteer_sps_teensy_v4_1.ino.hex" and have a green led, no middle led, and a red led lit. I hooked up the WAS to pins 1, 2, and 3 from the ampseal diagram but not sure if that is correct as I do not see any change via the AOG software.

Use the v2_5.ino.hex firmware.

You will need the correct config on the F9P for the middle led to light up.

 

[slvr98svt]

Use the 2.4/5 firmware.

You will need the correct config on the F9P for the middle led to light up.

Thanks, I will give that a try!

 

[Andy26]

Thanks, I will give that a try!

WAS pins 1,2 and 4.

1 is 5v+ to the WAS
2 is v+ WAS signal back to PCB
4 is Ground

When you move WAS you should wheels on the tractor on screen move. They maybe a bit erratic till you calibrate it.

That looks a very neat way of doing it!
