I followed the guide and downloaded ide. Then connected the teensy via usb and flashed it,l with the downloads found in ide. does it need to be connected to the pcb? I read it as connect the teensy via usb by itself and flash it. Thought i read somewhere not to power up with usb and 12v to the board at the same time or will the usb power everything up?
Orange light will flash when Teensy firmware is running, so that sounds fine.
Just unplug the amp connector, not the teensy. Better yet cut the tiny jumper on the bottom of the teensy so it doesnt backfeed the usb. Then you can keep all connected. They give instructions on prjc site.

Try this ino. There have been some trouble with that code getting stuck in the start loop.
After you load the teensy you should get panda sentence or paogi sentence if its okay. Make sure you have green autosteer in agio, and try your cytron again.
Thanks Iâll try that.
So to confirm do i plug the teensy 4.1 in to aio pcb then connect the usb to the teensy and flash the firmware (but donât connect the ampseal connector) ?
Yes, plug the teensy in to the board and leave the ampseal unplugged. It doesnt hurt that it powers some other parts of the board.
Have you solved the problem yet?
What version do you use? 5.7.2?
Ive not done anymore, too busy on other jobs. Hope to get back at it on the weekend. Yes im using the 5.7.2 version and the pcb and ino files from within that
I have been having a similar problem, in that I cannot get any outputs from the Cytron.
I have run the Teensy plugged into the board (AMP connecter unplugged) and get good connection to the ADS.
When I try to make the tractor icon green by clicking it, it will go green until I close the motor settings page in AOG and open it again. Then it is red again. Also, when I make the tractor green, the PWM value does not change from 0.
I do have good 24V going to the Cytron, and the power light is on. All modifications have been made to the V2.4 AIO board, as well as the Cytron mods for free wheeling. NC is connected into PWM2 as well.
Any thoughts?
Used send button?
After changing settings, I did use the send button
Similar problem to me then. Can get everything green in agio and on the pcb itself, the ma mb buttons work but not getting no response on the pwm pin. Theres been a few pointers from the posts above and Iâll be trying these over the weekend.
I did notice that when i got through the âsteer wizzardâ when i get to the step that asks me to press right and left for the motor i get a error in the top left saying âsteer switch not enabledâ. This happens when i select ânoneâ and âswitchâ in the steer enabled option.
Feels like im so close but still so far away.
I get that same error.
I cannot get the buttons on the Cytron to work (MA/MB) but I have modified the Cytron, so was not expecting them to work.
Ah yeah course you cant even test yours.
Which aio board do you have?
I think im going to try adding that jumper wire as mentioned above and follow the suggestions.
When you go into simulator mode can you get the tractor icon to go green and the steer module light to go green on the pcb.
I have V2.4
Think I ordered it in late Jan or early Feb
the tractor light will go green, but the light doesnât change
Does the teensy ino need to be modified for the pwm value? Or is that something changed in AoG?
Im not sure.
Jhmach posted above a ino file to try instead of the one i used in the 5.7.2 folder so Iâll try that aswell
Did you use the file from the 5.7.2 folder to order your pcb or from the Google files at the top of this page? Both boards very similar but there are different traces going to PWM2 on the latter so the board doesnât need doctoring for the free wheel mod. The one in 5.7.2 folder i belive needs a trace cut on the underside of the board. The relay free wheel sounds alot easier than cutting traces and modifying the cytron
The steer module light will only go green when the tractor is moving or you use either the force drive function/pwm test or simulator mode. Any other time its on red still
Is the idea to use this ino for a test only, as I donât have the XBEE radio?
No, its the release ino. The xbee is noted to show that the gps baud rate is set at 115200 instead of 9600. If you arenât using a radio, then it has no affect.
Isnât the F9P baud rate set at something around 460000? Wonât that cause communications issues?
No, there are 3 baud rates set in the teensy ino. The first one is 115200 that goes to agio. The second is gps set at 460800 which goes to the F9P. The third is rtk baud rate which goes to the rtk radio port.
I mis stated that in the previous reply. Rtk not gps
