Using a steering wheel motor, can current sensor or other option for disengaging the autosteer when you turn the wheel be added to the PCBv2? Someone thought it wasn’t possible but wasn’t for sure. It’s definitely a feature I’m going to want.
it’s totally possible. it’s in french but google translate is your friend.

Thank you! I never would have found that on there!
Something to think about when adding the current sensor is if your steer motor is a friction drive or gear drive. I added the current sensor to my pcbv2 and I wasn’t able to get the current settings right due to my setup. In a u-turn you need a higher current setting so it doesn’t kick the motor off when turning around. No big deal, but because I use a friction wheel when I grab the steering wheel to disengage auto-steer the wheel would just slip and not disengage on the higher current setting needed for the u-turn.

Makes sense. I am using a gear drive so I should be alright there.
Try this
no component need just update the INO of the Nano
This Concept is born same what about @Jenron3000 say

Does that produce anymore strain on the motor this way vs a current sensor? That would be my only concern, otherwise that looks amazing!
Is this included in the code now or does it still have to be added?
It is based on error and cumulative so good ajustement give 0.5 -0.8 s to disengage
A quick turn of sterring increase a lot the error and the syteme recognise it easyly
Today it is out of the general code that why you need to download it and load it

That looks like a great solution! I’m gonna give it a try next chance I get. Currently I just tap a button to disengage but it would be super nice to just grab the wheel to disengage.
So which code do I need to use? There is “Autosteer_UDP_v5_detec_was_err_4” and “Autosteer_UDP_v5_0_virtual_turnsensor”
use the last one
Autosteer_UDP_v5_detec_was_err_4
also link in release
Thanks, will do. What is the other folder for then?
this is solution for UDP nano and teensy
is this asnwer correct ?
I am curious about the v5 folder and it’s contents as shown in the picture. What the difference was if any!
yes! it si for old version of AOG under 5.6
I see!
I uploaded and attempted to try your code. I ran into an issue. My external button for engaging autosteer would not work at all, I flashed the official firmware and then the steer button functioned fine. Is that normal or did I have a random bug?
Did you send (refresh) the button settings from AOG to the module after flashing the new firmware?
Yes I did, many times lol. Tried switching it off, send and save, turn it back on, send and save. No difference till I switched to the official firmware. Haven’t tried brics firmware again yet though, I’ll try that now.
So I just loaded up a bank with brics firmware and tried it again. When I first loaded up it was set to a button but acted like a switch. Switched to none and then back to a button, sent and saved both times and then it didn’t work at all. Shut down AoG and the steer board, fired it all back up, and now it works.
Is it normal practice to restart AoG after sending and saving settings?
