COM ports, AutoSteer configuration problems

I take it both gps and auto steer are plugged directly into your laptop.

What type of gps are you using? for example I use emlid m2, if I do not use the higher amperage usb 3.0 port and a heavy usb cable for it it has power issues.

Are the leds on your gps staying stable when you plug in the autosteer?

sorry make a copy sreen of AGIO and device manager,

voice and speech never replace a schematic or photos

When I connect autosteer port, then GPS signal is lost, and when unplug, GPS signal is back. LEDs are ok. On Arduino, Tx is blinking, but Rx not.

You need the right config on your F9P

Be sure to save the config after uploadig.

After the upload, the F9P should send only GGA and VTG.

How to upload .txt files into F9P via U-blox?

thanks for picture

you are using V4 and you load V5.ino

so it is not good you need to put same software on arduino and AOG

as advise please use the V5.2.2…

First, thank you for your effort, I’ll update, because this is actually v4, you’re right.

I have no F9P here at the moment but you do it here.

Have you uploaded this code ( program ) into Arduino nano? AutoSteer USB v5.0
Min configuration

yes this the arduino program for NANO plug in USB and compatible with V5

It is for max configuration? I set min configuration, so that’s probably reason why it doesn’t work.

Sorry i dont understand there is no max and min it is unique config

you need to update this prog and AOG will configure after

so now that you load it start AOG V5 …

Min configuration means I don’t have accelerator, inclinometer and gyroscope etc. I have only WAS and other nessecary components.

no problem! :wink:

on V5 all this are replaced by CMPS14 ou BNO080-85

if you dont have it one of them AOG ignore it
lets go to start V5

and configure your com port

COM ports are ok now, it’s connected. The problem is that Rx led blinks slowly which means that Nano is receiving data, but Tx blinks very fast, different than Rx. On older version, there was written “not connected BN055x…”. Also, how to know that Nano sends data to motor?

could you make a copy screen of AGIO?

This happens on older version.

Data in V5.

since now forget V4

and V5 seem working

now step by step
For GPS what are the version?

For Autosteer board the Was seem not working did you apply 12v to the board ?

Applied 5V on Nano and WAS, and 12V on IBT2 motor driver. I don’t know what you mean for GPS version, but I think all is newest version. RTK board simplertk2b was configured to send only VTG and GGA messages, too.
