Had an extended drive around one of my frozen maize fileds tonight. Nice and bumpy and no IMU to smooth them out. The 724 ( via can bus with code using AOG’s PWM output to alter steer) was extremely well behaved. Really smooth steer and most surprising, headland turns were REALLY good.
Got two more BNO085’s ordered but the suspense is killing me so I think my 716 might loose it’s BNO085 tomorrow!!
Still got things to iron out in the code but it’s way more than promising!!
I am sure i wont matter, as the library will send 29 bits anyway.
only 3 priority bits according to standard.
data[0] = 5;
data[1] = 9;
data[2] = steerState;
data[3] = 10;
if (steerState == 3){
data[4] = setCurve;
data[5] = 152;
}
I am very interested in how this data structured. Are you able to provide more information?
Nice, ive got two more BNO085’s on order too. You will know more than I do but i was using the set steer angle from AGO and map that to suit can message, not the PWM? Ive got visions of the steer board only containing a Nano, a CAN Shield, and a BNO085.
That is what I did first but it was very savage on rougher ground. So what I’ve done now is run a steer variable to mimic the steer angle then drive this steer variable up and down with the PWM value. Then I map this variable to CAN. I’m taking the WAS figure from can and, when the CAN isn’t steering the tractor I map the WAS value to the steer variable so even when not autosteering it always tracks the steering. This prevents big jumps when steer is engaged.
Hope that makes sense!
As for the PCB, yes, nano, can unit and BNO is all we need really.
Is it possible to run two can adaptors from one nano?
I’m thinking headland management…
[edit…]
I very much doubt I know more than you do! I know what I want my code to do but a catalogue of schoolboy errors frustratingly slows me down!! I’m getting better, i think!
Is there a brand you work with? You have quoted the Fendt message witch is different to the standard ISO Danfoss system. With everything I make my own rule book from experience as i go until there is a proven more simple method.
The Danfoss books in the CAN-BUS section here are sort of OK if you have a rough idea of whats going on.
I’ll work out how to explain / show my rule book tho.
If your reading this subject and interested I hope your CAN shields / test parts are ordered because all this talk is only just the start of more too come…
