CanBus for Beginners - Super Simple

Hello,

Long term reader of the canbus topic but havent ever contributed, so here goes!

I have been working on connecting to a Claas Lexion 760 via canbus for steering. The steering seems to be similar to the Claas tractor CAN profile but slightly diffrent.

Originally the steering angle on the tractor profile is read from 0CAC1E13 but on the combine seems to be replicated on 0CA1C13, It doesnt have the same range of values as the tractor but this is easily fixed.

My problems come when trying to work out what is needing to be sent back to the combine for steering, which ID should I be using and or how do I work this out?

TIA

No configuration with servicetools

Okay,getting back to this.
Went through the instructions above and no change.
The steering switch is on and lit up and the quick steer is working so presumably power to the valve.
Connected the teensy via usb and opened serial monitor and have the following.

In the data of that screen shot see the 3rd data number is 61, that must be 16 before anything can happen. Try working through that list above when looking at this number and see if it changes.

Worked out today that the easy steer switch also needs to be on,not sure if this is normal?


Anyhow I now have Autosteer working!
With Agopen set to button and easysteer engaged the button on the pcb engages auto steer.
The tractor armrest button doesn’t engage auto steer but lights up when engaged and will disengage when pressed.
Any steering wheel movement also disengages.
Didn’t try to engage through headland management which I believe has worked for some but what are other options?

I wrote a tutorial on how to read the CANBUS and find the button of your choice, then code it in AOG yourself. Worth a look?

Don’t think anyone has worked out button for the Deutz.

As Andy has there in his reply is what you will have to follow to find the CAN button.

Otherwise your options are:

  • select “none” as switch option and use the tablet button/steering wheel in bottom right corner of tablet.
  • connect your own push button to the PCB steer switch input and select “button”

Okay thanks for all the help and advice, I will probably use the tablet button to get setup and started then look into getting the armrest button working in the winter when I have a bit more time.

Are any BOM and CPL files available online for the AOG_CAN_TEENSY4.1 can bus board?

Hi Stephane

Do you have a picture of steer connector and location?

Did you find any inputs for this bus within the cab?

Is it this?

Thanks

Hello

This is the connector X16g, ISOBUS (can4) and WK-BUS (steer) in this connector

Stephane, thank you so much - that’s incredibly helpful !

Just to be clear, as I don’t have much time tomorrow - this connector is as detailed in the pink on the diagram?

Hi all

Out at the dealers today, we got nowhere with this. Tried all 3 buses on x16g, especially wkbus, and no steer codes to match the INO at all. Even using the flow view in savvycan, nothing looked like a WAS. This was with the valve engaged BTW, and even with it steering in the factory SBAS autosteer.

Any suggestions?

Didn’t go in via the roof as wkbus was in cabin, confirmed with the dealers schematics. Logs here: https://github.com/lansalot/FileDump/blob/main/valtragen5logs.zip

Hello, Google traduction

For the guidance system to work, there are several conditions to respect:

  • Validate the guidance
  • turn the wheel to the right or left to receive the frame 0x0CAC1C13
  • move forward with the tractor, otherwise no effect on the wheels
  • engage guidance, reception of frame 0x18EF1C13 (byte[0] 15 byte[1] 96 byte[2] 01)
  • Send frames 0x0CAD131C with curve in byte 0 and 1 and 253 in byte 2

You had to use X16G, pin 9 a 10 (WK-BUS) for steer

Thanks, we did pretty much the same. The one I was in was the one with all the screens, command joystick, etc. The steer valve, I believe, is enabled on the arm and this brings up a screenshot full of options, one of which us a steer box you have to tick, and autosteer-engage button is beside it. As this one was steer equipped, there’s an auto-steer option on the monitor too that brings up your fields etc but I presume that wouldn’t be there unless unlocked.

So, it had all the toys, but no sign of the AC/AD drive codes. Full captures at the link above. Going to try a T.175 tmrw to see if thats any different.

on valtra T214 I think I have to found X11C connector

Hello,
I would like to equip a maxxum case from 2017 with agopengps. here are some photos of the steering solenoid valve and connectors.
Do you think I can do a canbus assembly?



I believe it is analog like ke this. Case IH Puma 230, autosteer ready
