Inputting Custom or Pre-recorded paths

The best thing to do is to build a GPS point list outside of AOG. Then use the internal converters to convert these points to easting and nothing.

The recorded path file is simply a text file with a header (which is ignored), a number of points, then comma separated text.
easting, northing, heading, speed, true or false if tool is on.

I used the built in reader and writer (opensave) to read and write what text I needed. It is a bit daunting when first looking at it. But, it works very well. This is the image of what it did.

You can find it in this thread. It will give you some good file reader information that you will need.

To answer your question about tractor settings. Only to a point in the default AOG. However, the best thing about AOG, is that @BrianTee_Admin made it truly open source. That is, you can change anything. I’ve had mine so out of working condition that I had to delete the entire folder and download a new copy and start over many times. I learn best by making mistakes. Make small changes and run it to see what you did or did wrong. What you will find in the path errors is that AOG was not designed to drive to a point over either of your shoulders. If the tractor can’t see the line, it can’t drive to it. And some times it has a pretty narrow vision. Good Luck. It is bad addictive. Post back with any success.
