Open centre has no load detection, (tractor is open centre), My option was too tee the P and T port from orbitrol too valve, the 17bar valve reduction valve should be enough too keep enough pressure for steering. When manual steering, the T-port isn’t blocked by the orbitrol, if it should, there would be no pressure for the 17bar circuit for transmission... or maybe i’ve missed something.
I’m very curious at your installation setup, just saw your video, great video, and very straight lines!

It looks like my Hürlimann tractor has a similar system as yours Ricard, so I will suggest to let T port from steering valve go directly to tank of tractor, and not back to T port of orbitrol, this way you will have the 17 bar pressure differece to steer. (on my tractor it is enough pressure to move wheels when driving, but not when standing still)
I know you "loose" som oil that should go to gearbox, but on my tractor there has not yet been any low pressure alarm when steering with AOG.
You can find my setup in post 1636 here: https://www.thecombineforum.com/forums/31-technology/296233-diy-autosteer-agopengps-164.html
In the Hydsketch you see how my system is connected, but you might not need the 6/2 valve that I use.

Is it possible to use the imu brick 2.0 as a roll/pitch source too?
Or is it just for heading?

If it´s possible to use it for roll/pitch please tell me how i can get this running


Thanks for your Help!

Sorry to publicly post but i was trying to PM Brian T. but wasnt able. I am a user of agopengps from Australia and might be in your area soon on tour so would love to say gidday. Really want to thank you on behalf of everyone using and experimenting. Have recently seen some of your success stories in Sussex and Nantes. Please PM me.

The BNO is pretty terrible at roll/pitch, that's the problem

Well thanks for your reply but actually i don´t want to use the BNO i just want to use the imu brick for heading and for roll/pitch

You can set the tramlines in A-B setup window (top left corner) by choosing which path to start tramline counting and how often to repeat tramlines

Check, but my tramlines are in the middle of 2 workpaths.. seeder is 3mtrs, sprayer is 24 mtrs. It means that My first tramline is between the 4th and 5th working path. Is there also a workaround for this situation?

Any ideas about this?

The Brick uses the BNO055 inside

Oh^^
didn´t notice that.
But how can i bring its signal into agopengps?
i want to start with this device as a first step

Any ideas about this?

1/2 drill width first run, then drill both t-lines in one pass!

Good option... only My seeder can’t seed 1/2 pass ? maybe an option for futher development. Thanks anyway

Hi Brian. I have a couple of weeks till my vacation, then I'm going to my father's farm to set up AOG on one of our tractors. I have assembled section control with 8 relays and autosteer. Both circuits are working on my desk as separate units. I will try to make and post some pictures or video with what I have. I plan to later expand to ethernet setup with all separate modules. But for the first install, it will be enough with just autosteer through USB. When I will have tunned that, then I can expand.

Till I go to the farm I want to try and tackle language problem. For me, English is no problem, but for my dad, it's the same as Egyptian hieroglyphs. Cause I have not much more to improve on my apartment desk, I would like to try and translate AOG in the Latvian language. Arduino code and most of AOG code I can kind of follow-through (still much to learn there), but multi-language stuff, visuals and compiling AOG are a bit too heavy for me.

So I want to ask you if you could put together a small tutorial with main steps: how to extract Excell file with languages from Visual Studio? How to import it back in? What needs to be considered/checked when removing or adding language and where it has to be done. And how forms need to checked and adjusted?

Maybe that's just too much I'm asking for! But I hope that it can be run-through quickly to show some basics. So I have someplace to start with.

Set up the simpler GPS on my dad's hay sprayers. Used a windows 10 tablet and a usb gps. System works well but very hard to see. The tablet did not adjust the pixels. Even at max brightness it was hard to see. So, I made the A/B line brighter and fatter. It adjust with the zoom. I made a few other changes in the software to total the acres per tank. That's what the workers know, "acres per tank." So it adds the sections until the sections are turned off. Works really well in straight lines, but in the curves it nearly doubles the total. I have not tracked down the error in the math yet. I removed a few buttons that the workers just don't need right now, and added a simpler way to change between the two tools that we use. I added a flag to resume last point and changed some other little thing to make it work for us. Just wanted to post what we did, it may help someone else. Thanks again for all of the work done by Brian and the others on this form.

Is there a way to save multiple contour lines to one field? Like the straight AB lines..

 

[Wolle]

I tested agopengps with tillage and fertilization. (I am still searching for the best steering settings.) I have a question. I built the outer boundary by kml file then did "Make Boundary Contours" and fertilized the headlands this way. The boundary contour is very good ... and not. Why not? The curve or the ab-line (I used with tillage) is so much better in a certain way. Is it possible to generate a curve line from boundary contour?

spreading fertilizer

Hello,
i would like to start spreading fertilizer with agopengps - in auto mode if possible. I have done a seach in this foum and haven´t found a helping post. So i sended a feature request on github. Is there anyone sucsefully using this software for sprading fertilizer with agpoengps?
I just read the prvious post by @Wolle - what kind of sprader do you use?

 

[Wolle]

I have a bogballe M2W and used AGopenGPS for guidance. What do you mean with auto mode?

 

[hagre]

To use agopengps not only in manual mode - to use it switching on/of the sections as long as you are in the boundary.
I am thinking about / would like to build, something like the already existing rate controler and section relay for the two spreading disc "sections", if the software could supply the required calculation, output and display.
Is there already a posibility/configuration/setting to mark a larger area in the back of the vehicle in manual mode, not only the narrow band of the sprayer?

 

[Wolle]

I don't think so.

 

[8582]

If you have physical switches on your monitor you can hook in to and have aog turn the sections on and off. Monitor would still control the rate. Although I have no idea what spreader you have.

AB line

Hello everyone, I am a farmer from France, I test Agopengps for working the land. I have a problem with the line AB: Sometimes the line does not correspond to the good position of the tractor: offset of 1m or more. if I go twice on the same AB line both passes are decalled. I do not understand what's going on. I use AGOPENGPS V3.0 The antenna and REACH RS + the log of the antenna and good always in RTK and distance between passage, after registration of the line, the width of the tool. I do not have an offset for the tractor or the tool. Sometimes two passages side by side are superimposed. I am a little lost what should I look for?
thank you Guillaume
