I’m trying to connect my Deutz imonitor/Topcon x35 to gps out.
I can use the Max232 board to connect no problem but can’t seem to get a connection with the gps out.
I’m using a generic converter cable from Amazon and have installed driver’s.
I can connect to an Amatron 3 no problem at 57600 baudrate.
I’ve made sure to match baud rates and tried different ones with no success.
Tried swapping rx tx in the male plug but still the same.
Anything else I should look at?
There is a newer version.
Okay thanks hadn’t seen that.
Can I get the new version into agio or have to run separately?
It can be used separately or it can be copied to the AOG folder and replace the one that is there.

Thanks I’ll give that a go tomorrow.
The topcon will also need zda for date and time. Can the latest gps out send this?
I have connected it to an x20. I don’t recall if the date/time were correct, but the lat/lon worked. It is updated now for zda in release 1.0.10.
Doesn’t RMC already have date and time?
Please explain what are you after with this, mapping and section control or something like that as it would not steer the tractor?
Yes rmc might but for the x25/30/35 the manual states it needs gga vtg and zda and this is what I have used before directly from gnss receiver. Can’t say I tried rmc as it wasn’t required according to the manual.
Yes section control for an isobus sprayer.
without the roll correction its pretty erratic and the end sections can be switching at the wrong time.

What output did the max232 give when you connected successfully?
I’m using the same baud rate with the max232.
And like I said the gps out will work on an Amatron 3.
What was the max232 connected to? What sentences were sent?
The max232 is connected to the second F9p socket on an AIO micro board.
I’ve just got power earth and tx connected.
I’ll have to check back through a previous thread to find the uart 2 setup.
In a x35 manual it says ZDA every 15 seconds. This version allows setting ZDA to 15 seconds, but I doubt if that will fix it.

Pretty surely this is how I did it.
Thanks I’ll try those settings,how many hz would that be for Zda?
It is 0.067.
