Top picture is the pin that has to be removed from tx2 of right, f9p header, so you can receive rtk, via radio tx.
Second is just a pic of rtk fix
Third is everything working off of a single ethernet cable
The others are just pictures of the Kaupoi autosteer board assembled. Since then, I have removed the yellow jumper wire where the relay goes, and put the relay in place. I didn’t have power on the lugs farthest from the input poles, and though that might be the problem. Make sure you check all of the 12v out pins for power when your finished to make sure.
Since we are using dual antenna, I only installed ads. No mma or bno. Use both of the 7805 regulators, and all capacitors and resistors, diodes, etc. I didn’t put the optocoupler in for remote( steering release encoder), I don’t have one installed, and dont plan to.
The power connection for the ethernet switch is right against the big relay, so use some forethought when assembling. If you use a screw terminal, make sure its facing away from the relay.
On the ethernet switch power wire, there are 4 wires, two sets of two. 2 ground and 2 power. I twisted both power wires together and tinned them, and the same with the ground. Just for durability.
I want to run this setup through planting, and then redraw everything, and try to tidy things up, and maybe condense a little. And am definatly going to get rid of the weatherpack connectors. They take up more room than the pcb’s.
The 19v power converter is not going to work. It just gets too hot. Trying to decide if I want to put it in the compartment with the steer module, or just run 12v to the tablet, and mount the molded regulator on the back of my table dock.
Any ethernet connection to any port on the switch. Doesnt matter to it.
