I opened the box on the right side of the seat and found these connectors inside.
I checked the valves on my tractor are on the right side in front of the rear wheel. Near where the battery is located.
Any info would be usefull.
I have another question regarding the old arduino codes on the github.
Is it possible to use them with the older model ?
These older models are not ideal for this CAN setup, the valve you talk about is it the steering valve or just the rear hydraulic stack of valves for the rear couplings?
Zoom the camera back more so we can see everything in that box beside the seat and the steering switch just in front of that box.
For information if you want to use kbus for buttons etc these old models use a 100kbs kbus, thatâs why you had errors you talk about a few posts back.
Here are the pictures.
Is there a indication in the tractor serial number which valves does it have?
It doesnât look like itâs steer ready so youâre out of luck.
There is no autosteer computer on the right side of the main computer in the box beside the seat and the picture is not zoomed out much but doesnât look like there is a autosteer switch on the side panel either.
Your best bet is to order a hydraulic PWM valve or a dc motor and use a standard AgOpen board.
You can use CAN for buttons and headland management but not steering in this model.
Thanks for the info.
I plan to use the WAS reading that I found in the workshop manual.
I will stick with the classic dc motor as I already have a couple of those on my farm.
Update for the Fendt users.
Currently, I am working on reading the WAS signal from the tractor and it was successful.
Here are the connector and the pins where you can read the voltage output of the sensor.
This answer is not related to the CANBUS but just wanted to give a little update.
Thank you all for the support. When I finish the project, I will create a thread with the picture and the wirings of how it was done. Maybe someone chooses the same path with the WAS because it is the hardest to mount on the tractor to get a good reading.
I know that with the johndeere there are still problems to make aog work over canbus. but i recently saw this one. I wonder how that box works in terms of communication
this takes over the armrest operation.
seems useful for activating autotrack, itec, hydraulics, hitch and pto

I think they are plugging into the armrest control unit harness. They have reverse-engineered the codes for controlling the SCVs, PTO, throttle. They might be blocking the the real armrest control unit messages and injecting their own then the module is operating.
I havenât had any chances yet but there should be a PGN for the autosteer button that the arduino could listen for to activate steering on AOG.
As for operating the steering valve itself, this product doesnât do that. Those codes still need to be identified.
Hello, a question, we have been testing in a Fendt 716 S4 ProfiPlus, with project 2 with a potetiometer and two arduinos. Steering ECU from Fendt is responding, and steerig console led is on, but front wheels dont move with the potentiometer. Is there some button or lever to be activated for first time? Thanks in advance.
Preactivate steering (1st LED is on). Toggle activation on your arduinos (2nd LED should light up), you are successfully connected.
Important, you need to be moving otherwise wheels wonât turn.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an enclosure for Tonyâs Teensy board, bought or 3D printed? @CommonRail @RGM

Great, thank you! I should have checked the wiki!
Good morning, What is the plan for connecting a f9p MICRO to tonyâs can pcb? THANKS
Sorry I couldnât find it. THANKS
Hello guys,
I have a MF 5S.135 here with quicksteer. Has anyone experience with the new generation masseys? (5S, 6S, 7S, 8S) and can tell me where to find the V-Bus?
That is all I know so far. Thanks in advance and best regards,
Ferdi
Massey is steering is via the engine canbus, not the valve bus.
The new models donât have the old x230 plug anymore so you have to make your own connection to the engine can.
