CNH GPS receiver update

[Matt77]

I’ve just had my screen, nav ii and 372 receiver updated at the dealers, I was running an nmea out put from port B to my sprayer screen, no problems before update, it’s like port B isn’t switched on. Myself and dealer struggling. Any help would be appreciated.

go to rdi page and re set up up the port settings, software update will often delete them

Yep, done that, changed it back to how it was when it was working before, still no joy. Cable been checked, sprayer screen works with its original receiver, just not out of port B anymore.

SOUnds strange but try setting up port c in rdi screen......

Yep thought same but gave it a go, no joy, dealer chap said he’s going to look at home tonight to try and figure something but thought I’d see if anyone had had same problem, got to be just a setting hasn’t it? Could the receiver have had something turned off do you think, maybe it wasn’t ticked on laptop or something, I don’t 100% know what’s involved in the update process.

So found a few ideas on Google last night, on port B RDI screen for some reason ZDA was in lower case, put it back to upper case and bingo! Thanks to someone in America for that one, dealer hasn't got in touch so guessing he came up blank.

Strange that ZDA made a difference.
The ZDA NMEA string only includes day month and year info.
Usually GGA is enough

Yes I'm thinking that it wasn't that as curiosity got the better of me the other day and I changed it back, still worked! So I'm still clueless but it's working for now so I'll just keep my fingers crossed. Temperamental old system it seems to be.

Unless it hadn’t enabled correctly since the software update.
The RDI menu is not user friendly either so it’s easy to go wrong.
If you have a NAV installed then you can also take NMEA from there and that position will be terrain compensated. It’s also easier to setup because you can set up the NMEA output from the NAV on the Toolbox > GPS screen. More user friendly than the dreaded RDI screen [emoji6]

Yes agree RDI over complicated but was pretty sure I only changed that setting as saw on a forum from the States. Since the update the tractor has been fine, drilling with it at mo and it's spot on. It was the sprayer with the electristeer fitted that became a problem, once the NMEA output was sorted it decided it didn't want to talk to the nav, needed a laptop to wake it all up again, was fine last few days spraying with it.

Hi, do you know much about the CNH electristeer? It says it has an option for wheel angle sensor, I think it might improve its response time, do you know the part number for the sensor by any chance?

Technically it’s possible but it’s not offered so I don’t know a part number.
Any potentiometer should work.
