Getting started with PCB hardware for beginners

Okay thanks for that Information!
I have seen you can chose at vehicle if you want to activate autosteer Manuel or by arduino. So if i choose arduino, I have also activate at the screen and the switch have to be closed?
Is it also necessary if you use the Manual angle.
My Problem is that with an old Code AgOpenGPS do not Show the actual steering angle.
With the latest Arduino Code the actual steering angle is shown in the steering Diagramm.

I found my mistake. I have not noticed the New Option to configs the arduino via AGO. So the Mistake was that AOG have Set not IBT2 as default. So my arduino outputed not the right Signals.
So it works now. So the result is dont forget to adjust Module Configurations via AOG on v4
Best Regards Peter

I think that motor won´t work as it hasn´t enough torque to turn the steering wheel with the rubber tire on the wheel. It would be better to look for a motor with a gear so that it is doing around 400 rpm. But you can still have the geared motor mechanically engaged and steer - with more resistance but it works.

Is this still working with D5 and the magnetic pick up switch?

I have a spare in Sask if you need

D5 is not used with Cytron. Not sure what you mean by magnetic pick up switch?

A while back you posted that you were running a steering wheel encoder off D5

Edit: or am I blind and that’s off int0

Steerind wheel encoder is connected to int0 and it’s working great.
Tested with:
Aog v3.0.9 + coffeetrac button.ino
and
Aog v4.1 + autosteer_usb.ino

Ya, i’m about to ruin that :frowning: The UDP version can’t use the interrupt since it gets tied up in the networking so going to use the “Remote” input which is pin D8.

Just am making sure it works on both and will upload the code. Not a big deal, just hook up the encoder to a different pin.

I’ll put a new topic in News once i upload the code.

Hello, tanks for this v2. I visited you site bur didin’t find anything. Is it ready? Thanks for your answer. PS: I am in France

Hi I’ve gotten my starfire 3000 working with section control no problem.
image if I want to use this autosteer configuration with a switch is it a case of programming the arguing with the code from support files and it will work or do I have to change any code.
Running AOG v4

The pin-out is not the same in the schematic as used in the pcb. You can find the pin assignment in the top of the arduino code if you open it in arduino IDE

Hello I was wondering how to fix an issue that I’ve come across where it just says waiting for Ag open GPS to respondimage

Have you checked device manager to insure port number is correct? Are you using a USB hub? Do you have a good cable? Have had all three cause trouble. Make sure if you are using a hub that it has external power. Most tablets wont supply enough power to work properly without giving connection problems periodically.

Another way to find Port number is: disconnect autosteer, and rescan ports and see which are available now.
Reconnect autosteer again (wait a few seconds) and rescan ports again, the new available port number is the autosteer.

Windows plays a sound when connecting an USB device. Can you hear it?

answering the following rely on my problem
1 yeah I have checked the coms ports, running it on a surface pro 6 with 12v power to power the broad. talking to the nano on a USB cord that I have changed and I am not running a USB hub.
2 tried it did not work , the surf face has one USB port
3 yes

Hi any help that I get you greatly appreciated, I’m creating this for a school project and I’m happy that I’m able to get support for problems that I’m getting. I have included photos of the system that I have built and I am using an IBT-2 motor controller and I’m using the PCB from the creator of ag open GPS and the auto-steer USB v 4.3.10 software.

Were you able to connect with arduino ide program, and make the blink code work?
Edit. And if you have arduino ide on the surface, you must shut it down before starting Agopengps.

Remember that no data will flow through the Autostar port unless AGOPEN does not receive GPS data. First you need to have a GPS position. If you don’t have this, try in simulator mode then the autostarter port should work.
