New INO posted in the AgOpenGPS git. It now does switch or button, your choice.


Simple to setup in the defines


#define SwitchOrButton 0 // set to 0 to use steer switch as switch // set to 1 to use steer switch as button // Button/switch pulls pin low to activate

I'm just finishing up assembling Brian's V2 PCB and have a few quick questions. How should the 2 DC to DC converters be positioned? There are 3 Vishay Semiconductors - positioning of those? What is the thru hole relay for? I'm assuming the steer wheel angle sensor get's hooked up where it's marked Steer. Otherwise very easy to put together.

Thanks

On board relay is the main power relay for the board. it uses the on/off beside the relay to enable with the switch included in the BOM

the 3 semi's have a little notch in them to indicate polarity and the board will show this too.

the 2 regulators also match the board although a little less obvious.

 

[rayjorgensen]

Thanks crash5291. I only had one semi backward, once the notch is pointed out it's pretty obvious.

What is the thru hole relay for? It is not called for on the board but is in the parts list.

I'm assuming the steer wheel angle sensor get's hooked up where it's marked Steer. (assuming can get one in trouble!!)

@rayjorgensen

I didn't check the BOM, so i have a couple relays i used the solder down one as the base+relay is to tall for the suggested box.

The on board relay turns on and off the power to the rest of the PCB. That way the regulators are off when the unit is off even with the main 12v still applied. One could tap the tractors keyed source to turn the unit on and off with the key. pins are marked right beside the relay (in the first pic of my last post they are below the relay to the right of the diode)

I recommend using a inline fuse before the PCB.

Yes where the W.A.S. is on the PCB would also be my guess, (do not currently have one)

The schematic is right in with the arduino code on github.

 

[rayjorgensen]

Thanks for the pic Brian, that really clears things up!!!!

I got to thinking about Brian talking about frustrations with github in the last video meetings. I just downloaded the latest from https://github.com/farmerbriantee/AgOpenGPS and I can't find a file or picture that looks like what you just posted. I can't get into https://github.com/farmerbriantee/AgOpenGPS_Dev. I get a 404 - page not found. so I can't check that

Thought I'd let you know.

 

[rayjorgensen]

I've attached a word doc which is a Soldering -etc how to. If it's any good include it in the wiki or tell me to do it and I'll look into how to do that.

The schematic is with the Arduino code - https://github.com/farmerbriantee/AgOpenGPS/tree/master/ArduinoCode


The Dev no longer exists, it has been replaced with a Development branch on the AgOpenGPS git. Yes, github, my nemesis lol.

How do you download from the new github site?

Go to https://github.com/farmerbriantee/AgOpenGPS click on the green download button right ish side, download the zip file.

I figured that out - get to the top of the tree!!!

Quick question. For me, in writing it seems like agopengps only works with pcb v2 now. Is this the case? Or does the old setup, with the basic setup still work?

i'm not sure which basic setup you are referring to. IT works with the first version of the pcb, that's what i still use.

Order PCB

Hi

I'm trying to order Brians PCB v2 on a European site.
But it's quite difficult for me to figure out all the options to select when ordering the pcb.
Does someone have a guide or anything to help me to order the pcb.

 

[Andreas Ortner]

I hope I can provide a finished pcb board with Smd in about the next 2-3 weeks in Europe.

Hi Andreas.

Sounds great. But what other functions are you implementing besides the ones on Brians PCB V2 board?.

Hi Andreas.

its should work like brians. i added encoder for steeringwheel for turning off hydraulic steering..

what functions do you need?

 

[rayjorgensen]

I'm over thinking this mos likely. I'm hooking up the steer switch to Brian's PCB V2. The schematic shows just power and com hooked up. I'm stuck on that should have a ground hooked also. Please confirm that I should follow the schematic and quit thinking.

Thanks
