A quick overview of my success story fitting section control on a 12 row beet drill.

Very happy with the results so far
Time will tell once it grows
Many thanks for all the help and input i had
Hi, how do you stop sowing?
It turns each section off when it crosses the coverage area on the headland
nice 1!!
Neat! Did you tie into an existing system, or did you add your own row shutoffs?
Basically just teed into each motor power wire and looped each one to the relay board. All the wiring and relay boards are in an additional box mounted on the drill then i just bought a 4m usb cable to run from the tablet to the drill.
Ive drilled about 150 acres so far. On the 2nd day i had a relay fail on the one board but luckily the drill control box tells you if a motor hasn’t started after a certain time delay. Bit concerned why it failed to start with though. The relay board is 5v so the nano can switch it and there is 12v coming out of the relays to the motors
