You guys are incredible.
Data format in and transfer rate sorted and the Amatron unit is now receiving full signal.
Much appreciated.
did you have to swap pins?

No, just apply the information and guidance from the guys who replied and everything works very well !did you have to swap pins?
Hope its ok to dig a thread up 6.5 years later..... can you show me what cable you use to make the amatron 3 connect to jd isobus? i'd like to do the same in R series and amatronHmm,tried our dealer supplied cable from the Amatron 3 terminal to the roof serial port in the cab for our NMEA input from the receiver but the Amatron isn't picking up any signal.
Possibly the cable is incompatible or our serial port isn't linked to the Trimble receiver perhaps. I really need to get a pair of those connector signal modules to test the #2 pin.
Interestingly when we run the spreader on our John Deere 7530 we have the Amatron 3 plugged into the isobox socket in the cab and use the GS 1800 for mapping.
When you turn the spreader on and off via the Amatron this initiates mapping on the 1800 screen but on the Fendt set up in the same manner turning the spreader on and off has no effect on mapping coverage and there doesn't appear to be a trigger value relevant.
Out of interest how have you got your ZA-V configured @Pheasant Surprise ?
From memory, we just plugged the Amatron isobus loom into the tractor cab iso socket and it was away.Hope its ok to dig a thread up 6.5 years later..... can you show me what cable you use to make the amatron 3 connect to jd isobus? i'd like to do the same in R series
Thanks
I'll let you know after tomorrow I'm doing the same for an amatron 4 in a new R series JDHope its ok to dig a thread up 6.5 years later..... can you show me what cable you use to make the amatron 3 connect to jd isobus? i'd like to do the same in R series and amatron
Thanks
ThanksI'll let you know after tomorrow I'm doing the same for an amatron 4 in a new R series JD
I think I'm just gonna take speed and position and still use the amatron 4 to control it because amazone works in a curve and JD aren't doing that yet but I'll let you know.Thanks
my amatron 3 and sprayer are running amabus, but if I can also link the amatron 3 to the isobus tractor at the same time maybe it will pick up satellites speed etc without needing the NMEA
I've a funny feeling you still will . I went in last week and they had the roof off mine putting a cable up to the receiver wiring somewhere and I asked them to not hard wire it in as I might want it to run on a 7530 on 7310r so was easier if I can move it aroundI’ve currently starfire T harness in 6420s between receiver and tractor for section control on amatron 3, new R130 coming and don’t really wanna have to run cables up to roof on new machine
@r.lyons as I thought there mustn't be a way to get satellite signal out of a plug in the tractor . I've got a cable hard wired in frim the back of the receiver into the cab with an rs232 end in it to go to the amatron . Only way will be to run machine and section control through the JD screen which for me at the moment isn't an option but for a sprayer you'd be fine.
I'm using the tractors 9 pin plug and isobus wiring to run my amatron but need the extra cable to get GPS to it.
