Topcon wiring in a foot pedal

[shotgun98]

Now, just a thought but im sure it could be done. Looking at wiring in a foot pedal to toggle GPS on/off instead of the button on the screen. Has anyone done this and if so, how?

must be a wiring diagram or harness adapter to allow you to do exactly that with ease - since on/off could be triggered by machine or lift arms or whatever.

Only have experience of JD Greenstar but its dead easy on that to hook up a switch or a 'in-work' trigger -you have the option of pull up (+12v) or pull down (0v) in the software. Trimble must be the same.

Check in the operators manual. I expect it will give details on which pins you need to add a switch between. That is what I did with my Trimble.

Interesting that JD accepts a +12v switching input. I think most others only work on connecting 2 pins and if you want it triggered by a voltage you just use a relay to isolate the pins from that voltage.

There is a plug on the harness can’t remember what it is labelled but something like remote engage or there abouts. Basically just needs a momentary on switch.

I used a micro switch in my combine and put it into the joystick. Any footswitch as long as it is a momentary on will work

That is for steer engage not remote mapping! There is a plug for mapping too!

Not seen that plug but it’s probably there. I do my mapping through section control
