Yep, and the 750 can't do the ez-boom.I suppose the 500 can't do the pilot, only ez steer?

Any particular party tricks to get it all working (smoothly)?! Come on spill the beans!Well, used in earnest burning off a bit of grass this morning. A bit of cab clutter but relaxed operator.
500 controlling ez-boom; 750 driving the ez-pilot, both from single rangepoint receiver. View attachment 835768
Nothing smarter than what I was playing with before: Switch in serial cable to disconnect feedback once handshake completed; keep engine running!Any particular party tricks to get it all working (smoothly)?! Come on spill the beans!
Good work. So do you still use the 500 aerial on roof and just send corrections or are you sending the position data to the 500.Nothing smarter than what I was playing with before: Switch in serial cable to disconnect feedback once handshake completed; keep engine running!
Ah no worries. I thought you may have done some funky stuff with a “smart” cable or intermediate box/processor to allow the handshake but then make it one way comms between the units. But a simple switch is good too!Nothing smarter than what I was playing with before: Switch in serial cable to disconnect feedback once handshake completed; keep engine running!
Just the one antenna, 750 sends position etc to the 500. Not the tidiest solution, but only imagine using it for grassland spraying - the 2 receivers normally live in different tractors.Good work.

Trimble boxes of a certain vintage require TSIP to be present to handshake the comms it would seem. Unfortunately plain old NMEA won’t cut it. Closed shop mentality.I've heard you are supposed to use a null modem cable to transmit NEMA out of the Nav serial port. Would your home made cable be causing issues?
I honestly can't remember! Think I just selected tsip at both ends and it worked. I created a config file for the 500 when I was playing about and used it last week, but I don't think I had one on the 750, so it must have just worked. Give me a day or two and I'll have a look.just started experimenting here - the ezguide doesn't allow me to configure the baud when selecting ext tsip so what did you set your 750 to when exporting the tsip? Also data settings parity and stop bits?
In post 3 you had port param’s set to 115,200 bps, odd parity and one stop bit.I honestly can't remember! Think I just selected tsip at both ends and it worked.

That was when I was blundering about in the dark, but most of it stuck. This is the setup that is working for me.In post 3 you had port param’s set to 115,200 bps, odd parity and one stop bit.
I'll have a go, should be the same procedure as when I was unsuccessfully trying to sniff out the vra protocols. Will pm when I get laptop rigged up.So I've tried multiple attempts sending the ezguide my own tsip messages in what I think is the correct format and sequence. Its clearly expecting a header message though with a machine identifier that it supports but i've no idea what that might be. If there is anybody here with a 750 or indeed a 252 or 262 receiver that is willing to hook it up there PC and log the tsip messages that is coming from the receiver then that would be fantastic just reach out and I can point you in the right direction.
Brilliant thanks,I'll have a go, should be the same procedure as when I was unsuccessfully trying to sniff out the vra protocols. Will pm when I get laptop rigged up.
