I spent a good amount of hours diagnosing the issue. I turned out to be a bad Ethernet cable, but when I would take the board and the same cable to anther tractor it would work because I was holding the ethernet cable in just the right position. In the future can I hook up to the teensy while its on the board and look at the serial monitor to to look for a data stream ? Also am I correct in understanding the green light on the jack was lite up but not the flashing orange light on the the right side of the jack means that we have communication at least to the jack just no traffic ?
This is my second build and my first doesnt have any voltage on pin 7. This board only has 1.3 volts when I engage auto steer. Can someone tell me how to track down the issue ? By the end of a long day in tight fields cranking the wheel which is bad enough but the gears start skipping on the steering wheel then it gets real frustrating
The green light on the ethernet plug is solid green then flashes orange when communicating
Did you have ethernet connection in the agio page when the fault appears? If no communication i would expect to loose gps steer and imu connections aswell possibly

Yes that is what was happening. I thought that because I just built the whole harness I had done something incorrect.
Any ideas on pin 7.
Maybe check that the mosfet is there and soldered in good. Or check the plug. Maybe a problem there.

mosfet

I went back in to one of my original posts about missing components when I ordered the pcb and you noticed that the mosfet was missing then too. That jogged my memory enough from the unit i built last year. It didn’t work initially but once I shorted out between posts and it clicked the solenoid and has worked ever since. Which is very nice on this old Case 4490 because you cant physically steer it with back feed
Thank you all for the input
