It makes sense to me too but I’d be interested to see what difference it actually makes in field conditions. I’m assuming side draft has to be calculated out of the equation as L & R antennas would give a false heading.
I’m looking forward to getting my system out on real jobs rather than driving around in a bumpy maize field, to see just how accurate it is in work. Off topic but I’ve been impressed how well a correction signal 34Km away has worked up to now.
Yes, I currently have a test Setup on my desktop, that uses only UDP (GPS & steering).
RTCM/NTRIP from AOG over UDP to the PCB to the F9P, NMEA the other way.
Cool, it actually works, I never tested it all the way with ntrip as well. Good to know!
UDP seems to work really well, despite me getting flamed on Emlid site for suggesting Emlid add udp support.
Loud thinking: With dual gps calculated heading and heading generated out of moving point (like it is done currently in AGO with single antenna and without BNO) you could subtract the drift angle. Together with roll could be a automatedsidehilldriftcompensation. Isn’t it?
Yes, just math! AOG already has sidehill drift comp. It just adds a bit more steer based on roll to turn uphill.
I do wonder about dual antenna and drift though, you would think it would want to steer downhill since the dual antenna heading wouldn’t be the same as the ab line, but try to make the 2 the same. Going to have to do some careful testing @MTZ8302.
With a single antenna the heading is still the same as the ab even though the tractor is on an angle pointing up hill, but fix to fix is straight. With single antenna, all of that is self compensating.
simpleRTK2B-SBC will be available for purchase in April. It is a product intended for system integrators and initially will not be available for single purchases.
Our 15+ year old (so old it still only uses GPS) Autofarm systems use 3 GPS receivers for roll and heading. The main position receiver is L1/L2 RTK, the other two are L1 only for heading and roll. Works well for slow speed and very stable steering once configured correctly.
