Gps out

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.

Thanks will give that a try.

I think it should be possible by editing the Teensy ino to send the sentences from the F9P to gpsout just to see exactly what the difference is between what the F9P sends out and what gpsout sends.

I wonder if amazone amatron+ gps switch work without GPGSA (in 5Hz or 1 Hz) signal i have to try but is that sentence possible get with gps_out ?

Another version with sentences that match closer to the output of the F9P.

okay thanks so much for your help,I’ll download this version and give it a go.

Some success today,I got a connection and all looked good but the vehicle direction was wrong.
I’ve got a direction override button on the screen but even pressing this the tractor is moving the wrong way.

For the Amatron 4:
I’d imagine Amatron 3 would be the same.

GPGGA @10Hz
GPVTG @ 10Hz
GPGSA @ 1Hz
GPZDA @ 1Hz

@ SK21, is GSA easy to add to GPS out? Do i have to configure the the antenna to send the message first? I was planning on using a rs232 module and hook it up directly to the antenna board.

GPSout uses data from AGIO. If AGIO doesn’t receive or handle it GPSout can’t send it. It is possible to edit the steer ino to send over udp whatever the F9P sends out uart2.

Is the GSA sentence required?

Yes for the Amatron 4
GPGGA @10Hz
GPVTG @ 10Hz
GPGSA @ 1Hz
GPZDA @ 1Hz
I was planning to use the Max232, then I stumbled on this thread.

Does GPS_out send the roll corrected as well as the centered (by usind dual system) antenna positions from AOG?

Unmodified AOG doesn’t send roll corrected position.
