AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

[andyinv]

@andyinv i'm going through

AgOpenGPS 6 - configuration and first run​

and i cannot get the teensy to flash with the MF CANBUS and function after. I can flash it with the V 4.X and it works. I've got steer ready masseys so it's a little bit of a roadblock to progress. Am I missing something?

What do you mean "can't get it to flash"? That covers a lot of ground....

I don't think the Teensy blinks it's Led with the Canbus firmware.

Hell also need to go onto the service tool and select valtra/Massey and P for 460800 but it would be useful to know which tractor ofc

I mean flash it with the local firmware. We have a 6616, 7726S and 6S.165.

What error are you getting ?

How do you know it's not working?

You will need to go into service mode and change the Brand and choose P for Panda 460800.

You do this in Arduino IDE, open serial monitor, type an S, you will see it scroll the current status, with a list of Brands each with a number. Type the number into serial monitor, it will reboot, then type S again to run serial monitor, now type P, again it will reboot and should display the correct brands and Panda 460800.

So I’ve put the CANBUS for AIO firmware on it and it doesn’t see the gps antenna

Did you do the service tool bit?

 

[Will Blackburn]

No I’m not sure where it is?

Read my reply a few posts up.

You will need to open Arduino IDE, will need to install the Teensy boards add on, then plug the Teensy in with a USB cable (do not power the PCB at the same time).
Once the teensy is connected, run Serial monitor as above

That’s great thank you, making progress now.

 

[Will Blackburn]

We have a base station running for a few days now.

i wonder if your (@Will Blackburn ) base station is closer to me than the current one .

@Andy26 do you build base stations to plug in and go?

the base station components are plug in ,just need a bit of configuring

Hi, I’m looking at buying a CF-D1 Mk3 Toughbook and I just wanted to check that it’s a good option and I’m not going to regret it?

Thanks

Only downside is they are big and heavy and so not many mounts can accommodate them.

Usually well specced with lots of ports.

Nice big screen.

Do you know which model holds a SIM card? Or of any different tablet that I can use that will hold a SIM card ?

 

[young bull]

What’s everybody using for a tablet holder for a Panasonic FZ-G1?

I was thinking order this https://www.amazon.co.uk/RAM-HOL-TAB19-Tab-TiteTM-Universal-Panasonic-Toughpad/dp/B00GBBBWPY and then make a bracket to fit existing mounts for other screens. Does this allow access to all the ports. Can’t quite see on the picture? Or has anybody else got any other recommendations?

 

[clbarclay]

That mount does allow access to the ports.

I print my own though, including the ball mounts.

Lovely thank you I’ve just ordered one!
