Do you mean autosteer disengage
Youâve done the free wheel mod already.
The newest way and apparently better is fitting a relay to disengage autosteer. Doesnât need the free wheel mod done to the cytron.

But still it doesnt work very wellâŚ
The relay mod?
Havnt actually got as far as trying it myself.
What are the problems with it?
Relay mod is nothing else then breaking the circuit between pwm signals so there will not be any connection back to cytron. But using the disengage will measure current in the 24v input.
If you turn wheen while pwm is on current will go higher. And should disengage but not always working. At least that how i think it works. But as i said when a tight turn the current also go up and it will disengage. So i dont know what to do⌠haha
Relay works perfectly with AIO.
The ACS712 current sensor disengagement also works well in all the AIO PCBs Iâve tested.
All the ACS712 is turn autosteer off, so you still need a relay or freewheel mod to isolate the Cytron from the motor.
You have the PWM running true the pcb or directly to Ampseal/deutsch connector?
Though the PCB, the incoming current to Cytron must come through the PCB for the ACS712 to measure the current.
Whats this acs712 current sensor? Something i need to add to my aio pcb or already there?
Just had a quick play with mine now i finally got it running and all is good so far, just needs some fine tuning. So far to disengage when its not headland turning i just been temporarily taking 1 wire off the motor. I have got the relay to add by your recommendation, do i need anything else?
Donât need anything else. You have the ACS712 already.
Just need to choose the current sensor in the autosteer settings, and set it to say 30% if using 24v motor.

Ok i have 24v voltage true pcb v3. Will try 30%.
Where are you mounting the relay normally? Up by the motor or you managing to get it inside with the pcb?
Just in the cable harness and then route is behind the panels.
When i turn on the current sensor and set it to 30% the turn sensor also activates and is on 75.
Do i need to turn the turn sensor off or are they both meant to be on?
Am guessing the lower the number % the easier it is to disengage when turning the wheel
What happens if you wire the relay up as described but then invert steer motor direction in the steer wizzard? Does pin 5 and 6 (steer left and steer right) on the ampseal now get reversed so Relay wont work?
Basically how do you know which of the 2 wires on the motor is steering left
Doesnt matter, you could use pin 5 or pin 6 from Ampseal for relay.
Just current sensor turned on, turn sensor should be off.

Thanks alot. The steer activation needs to be set to âbuttonâ does it? The very brief time when i tried it i had 'switch â selected and as soon as i turned the steering wheel it disengaged then almost immediately engaged again. I did briefy try the âbuttonâ option but needed to play about with the current settings. Do i need a jumper on the pcb marked âpressure switchâ?
Since i cooked the my aio pcb ive been going through it to see what mightve gone wrong.
Button for a spring loaded momentary switch, switch for a toggle two position on/off switch.
No jumper on pressure jumper unless using hydraulic valves.
