That Combine forum link takes you to the post where Timmy95 shared the new discourse forum link.
discourse.agopengps.com
Make sure you are trying to use the new one! The old link was agopengps.discourse.com, notice the difference.

Thank you very much for the new link.
I was able to get into it now.

Back again with another dumb question. I'm trying to spec a tablet for agopengps as I don't have one that works. I remember seeing on the old discourse a thread on minimum system requirements, it doesn't look like that thread has translated over to the new discourse. Does anybody have the system requirements or a link to a thread with them? Thanks.

You'll have the most luck if you ask over at http://discourse.agopengps.com/. AOG does not require tremendous amounts of CPU (I've run it on a Celeron 1.6 GHz before with 4 GB of ram). Don't buy any tablet with only 32 GB of flash storage. Those are now old, obsolete, and not supported by any recent version of Windows 10. I think the minimum for Windows 10 is now 64 GB of storage. 2 GB ram might be enough, but Windows is more comfortable with 4.

Screen brightness is probably going to be your #1 criteria for an AOG tablet. Brighter the better. A bright screen tends to be more expensive, and such tablets are higher end anyway, in terms of specs. Personally I'm leaning towards a refurbished Getac tablet such as this one: Getac F110 tablet, 11.6", Intel Core i7-4600U 2.10GHz, Win 10 Pro. Can get a used docking station for it, which is humongous but very functional for AOG with real serial ports even.

So any tablet capable of running windows 10 pro should be able to run AOG then?

Most likely. 3D acceleration is required, but I would expect nearly every tablet would provide a basic 3D graphics chipset that would do the job. A few years ago I ran AOG on a very cheap crappy tablet (32 gb, now obsolete) and it ran fine. AOG does more computation now than it did then, but I expect most tablets would work fine. Like I said you'd be most disappointed in the screen brightness.

If the tablet can handle running windoze updates, it'll be fine with AoG, but maybe not both at once.

I'm new here. Just published an interview with Andrew Sharp, an Almond farmer who is replacing old Trimble GPS hardware with Emlid GNSS receivers to keep his Topcan spray controllers operational.

Not sure if this fits in this forum but I could see some discussion on using Emlid components so hopefully it will be of interest to this group.

Well it took me some time to get to this point

I designed a gear that can be attached to the steering wheel, and a mount for a nema23 steppermotor.
Inside the steering column a steel bracket has been installed to which the 3d printed stepermotor mount has been attached.
The Autosteer software has been adjusted to drive the steppermotor using a TB6600 steppermotor driver.
The steppermotor including controller only cost 50 euro's and the first tests are positive.

Next step: integrate with the tractor.

The onboard steeringsensor (New Holland T6.160) can be used directly, the voltagerange of this sensor is 0-5v

Hello. Is there anywhere I can find out how to connect the tb6600 and what arduino code you used?
