I didn’t have a chance to get back to it today but I’m hoping to tomorrow or the next day. I think I understand what is wrong and what I’m supposed to do to fix it now thanks to you guys. I’ll report back here to let you all know how it went.
Thanks again!
Ok. So I had time to try to configure the F9P late last night. I found some instructions here that said to update the firmware so I tried updating it to the 1.32(I think that is the version) but our laptop froze up but I think it had already completed the process. We then restarted it and continued to install the single antenna file and all went well. Then we took the combine out of the shop to try it out and it didn’t make any difference. I am going to try to update the firmware again in case the computer freezing up caused a problem.
One thing that I’m wondering is the update instructions said to change the baud rate to 340800 but I think I remember reading that it should be set to 34000 or something like that to use it. I tried changing it but that didn’t work. Does the configuration process change that to what it needs to be?
Also, I found a series of very good instructional videos by Brian but I can not find them again. Where can I find them? Also, is there a way to bookmark or something else to be able to easily find these little gems again? I’m not that computer literate so I’m having a bit of difficulty finding my way around this site. Lol
Here you can find all the info you need.
And uart 1 baudrate should be at 460800
Ok. Thanks! I think someone posted that earlier but I’ll try it again. I made a patch cord to a Milwaukee m12 battery so that I can try programming it with our desktop computer. I’m not sure what is going on but maybe part of the problem is the laptop. It is frustratingly slow and it froze up during the process twice now. This is confusing enough for an old guy like me without adding more issues. Lol
Right now I’m going to throw this out there. I don’t know how generic the programming of the F9P is but if I don’t get it programmed by the end of the day I’d definitely be willing to purchase a preprogrammed one from anyone that has one to sell and is willing to program it for me. Maybe even 2 of them. I’ll post a pic of exactly what this chip is in case there are differences that I don’t know about.
Then I’ll figure out how to program these in the winter when I have more time. I thought the issue I would have would be finding time to do the physical install and figuring out the actual GPS program, not programming one little chip. Grrr. Lol
@Randingo If you can hook it up i can do it for your true teamviewer session if you want.
It only take less then 5 min normaly
Oh wow! Thank you! I’ll be giving it a try myself soon. I’m hooking it up to a desktop computer so hopefully that will work better. I have to go through the steps of loading all of the necessary software so it might take a while. I’ll report back here if it works or not and if not I will likely take you up on the offer whenever it would work for you to help me.
Thanks so much again for the offer!
I am in netherlands so we have some time diff.
So if i dont respond i bet i am asleep 
That laptop caused a lot of grief and wasted a lot of time. Something odd must be going on with it. Lol.
Once I downloaded all of the software and files into the desktop everything went the way it should! While I was at it I programmed a second chip in well under 2 minutes. Unbelievable difference.
I had the GPS antenna in a window and I was getting the GPS coordinates so it appears to be working. Now I’ll go put the chip back in the combine and see if it works in there. Hopefully I’m down to getting all of the settings correct and learning the Agopen program now.
Thank you very much for the offer though! And have a good night or good morning, whatever it is when you see this. 
Thanks also to everyone else for the advice and help!
Ok. Kind of a new problem but not really. I am very certain I updated the firmware and the configuration files of the F9P so that shouldn’t be the problem. The computer I had connected to it during the updates was registering latitude/longitude coordinates so it appears it is working. Unfortunately the Latitude/longitude coordinates are still not showing up in agopen. I have an RTK radio installed but have done absolutely no programming for it yet as I don’t have a base station set up yet. I assume it should still receive WASS signals anyways wouldn’t it? I am wondering if it could be a mismatch of baud rates but haven’t had any luck finding where to check that.
The tablet is communicating with the AIO board because the IMU and steer icons are green.
Any other ideas what it could be?
Did you remember to save the config upload? Otherwise it’ll revert back after power cycle.
It seems best not to use WAAS with the F9P, mostly likely the config has WAAS (SBAS) disabled.
I pressed the “save configure” button so I assume it did. It didn’t appear to change anything on the screen though so I had no verification that it did.
I had another board in the house so I plugged the F9P into it to program it and the desktop computer was showing latitude/longitude figures in the u-connect app. I assume that would mean it wouldn’t have had WASS disables but maybe not.
We bought a kit that had a rover and base station that were preconfigured to work together. They are only capable of running a light bar without extra hardware so I didn’t use the rover for this project and I didn’t leave the base station set up.
We tested them out and they were working with each other. I had planned to program this rover to work with the base station also but I figured I’d get it working on WASS before tackling the radio. If I need to I can but I was hoping to deal with one aspect at a time.
Go it and I think you were right about the RTK thing. I happened to come across a thread where a guy had the same problem as me. He said he fixed it by saving it the “view message” way instead. I tried saving it like he did and when I looked at his screenshot my protocols were set to ubx + MNEA + RTCMA or something like that. I made mine match his and it worked.
Am I assuming correctly that the RTCMA (or whatever it was) was the RTK correction signal?
If so, my next question is what will happen when I get it set up for RTK and I lose the RTK signal?
AoG has an RTK lost alarm and an option to disable steering when it detects RTK is lost because most likely you’ll have a significant position shift when going in/out of rtk.
Thanks for all the help everyone! We got it all installed and working, except for the RTK which we didn’t try as we don’t have our base station set up. It works very well. The only issue we have is that turning the steering wheel doesn’t disengage it but I’m sure that is a setting issue that we haven’t been able to address yet. I found a thread that will hopefully help with the electronic settings but I also remember a thread I found before I even started the project that talked about setting the pressure valve on the Bakari block. I’m not sure if I will have to adjust that also but I have not been able to find that thread again. I don’t know why but I’m having a lot of trouble navigating this site. There’s lots of gems hidden throughout the site but finding them again is usually the problem. Lol
Might wanna look here.
