I have everything needed in this box. Bud Industries NBF-32010. Can anyone tell me any reason it wouldn’t work long term? get to warm? etc? It works great now. Eliminates a lot of cable mess in tractor. Just plug in Ethernet cable to computer and everything works.
It has autosteer board pcbv2 cut down a bit to fit, 12-24v converter, tp-link router, rtk2board with wifi ntrip master, tcp232-t2 for gps over ethernet.
Looks a tidy install, would be nice to see inside the box also if you have any photos?
the inside is what your not supposed to see. lol
not so tidy. glued stuff down in lid but in box router slides forward and then out so not hard to remove
I think it depends if its in an air conditioned cab or not. The udp module gets pretty hot, i made a small heatsink from an aluminum strip and some heatsink paste.
Looks good, what are you running with the F9P? An esp32? noticed you have ethernet interface on that, your own code or the xbee esp module from ardusimple support eth also now?
the wifi ntrip master from ardusimple is on the rtkboard to recieve rtk correction from my cell or 4g router. The tcp232-t2 takes nmea from rtk2board an converts to udp so thats how aog gets nmea. No I don’t do any coding. Just have to set tcp232-t2 up to send to right ip.
Im not sure what im missing on this ethernet setup. Maybe its a basic understanding of how networks are setup. Any tips on were to start. I have tp link router desktop computer with ethernet port and laptop with wifi
So i finally got it to connect. In ethernet window in piksi settings i put an IP address 198.168.0.103. tablet running AOG has IP address of 198.168.0.101 . So back in piksi settings in UDP client i put 198.168.0.101:9999
if you use 192.168.0.255 it will broadcast to all ip’s and no matter where it is and who it is it will receive all the info.
255 means broadcast to all IP addresses
Will you please help me with the configuration of the ethernet connections? Are there good reference materials out there somewhere? I have the same equipment that you have shown in your pictures. I’ve seen a few posts about using the arduino ethernet connection with the shield, but I haven’t found anything on how to wire the RTK2B to ethernet? What does this change in the code?
how to connect tcp232 to rtk2 board
tx1 to rxd and rx1 to txd
5v from pcb board to 5v on rtk2board and to 5v vdd on tcp232
Gnd from pcb to rtk2board and to gnd on tcp232
Sodder wire from 3v3_out to ioref on rtk2board
Connect ethernet cable from tcp232 to router and another from router to computer
Set lan ip to 192.168.1.1 on router
Set tcp232 to (udp client) sending to 192.168.1.255 port 9999
Connect rtk2board to ucenter and change following settings
PRT (ports) set uart1 protocol in and out to nmea with 115200 baudrate
msg (messages) turn on or make sure uart1 is on for GxGGA, GxVTG and GxRMC
These pictures are the settings I used for the tcp232.
![usr2|590x500]
local port should be 7777 or something other than 9999 and then aog ntrip port should be 7777

This is what worked for me but might be some better ways to do it.
USR-TCP232-T2 is 3v3 logical level, so put 3v3 on ioref on Ardusimple.
Is USR-TCP232 logic level still 3.3V when USR-TCP232 is powered with 5V:VDD from PCBV2?
Always is logical level 3v3
Thanks I’ll edit post. What can go wrong if i don’t change the way i did it? With wrong voltage? It seems to work good.
It may work for a while, but not for long…
I’ve been slowly working on getting UDP working and finally got the router going and this error keeps popping up. Anyone have advice for solving this?
You need to set the udp settings in AOG to be on the same network as your router is on. That is why it is unreachable.
Can you put up a pic of udp settings?
Where did you find the software to interface with the USR-TCP, is it a webpage? I can’t seem to find it on their website, only a testing app.
It has a built in web page. So just connect it to your computer via ethernet. Default ip address on mine was 192.168.0.7.
