AgOpenGPS RTK Autosteer, How to Guide for £1000

I've got all the software up and running and have an RTK signal now just waiting for the Baraki valve to arrive.

Has anybody got any recommendations for a neat switch to turn on the guidance? Looking for one to fit where the front PTO would go on a JD 7530. I'm thinking it wants to be a normally open momentary switch?
I had nowhere particularly nice or convenient and I didn't want to drill holes. I think a foot switch would be better and I might add one but in the meantime I used a small enclosure and some strong sticky hook and loop tape.

Probably been asked before but What off-set should I put in for front and back mowers? 3meter front and backs.
Thanks

In the early days AOG had problems with large implement offsets like one half of the implement width or so. Should be fine now.

Assuming you do not have any overlap between the front and the rear mover, your offset should be 1.5 metres. It is a 6 m implement and the tractor drives 1.5 metres from the centre line.

I would need to test if the offset is to the left or right, my brains never work it out however clear the instructions are.

Offset 143cm right, 586cm machine width then 10 to 15 cm overlap. Tape measure to confirm when mounted, mostly for the front/back overlap.

We've got triples this year with an adjustable rear mower width, no offset but plenty to cause mither, though about programming two machine sets or change the overlap on the go?
