Hello my name is Bas Beuwer and i am from the Netherlands. About a year ago I came into contact with self-built GPS systems, after thinking for a while I started building a cerea GPS system. That project was successful and I enjoyed riding cerea for a year, but I still started to look up to some things and I started reading more about agopen, which made me consider building a agopen system. That’s why I started building last weeks. after reading for a while panda came to my attention and this seemed like something to me, I was also able to get hold of a v2 board from an colleague and I made it complete.

My goal with this project compared to my cerea kit is that i want to build it permanently into this tractor. My cerea system was universally usable with more of our tractors. with agopen I might also want to start hydraulic steering.
I was thinking to equip my tractor with an electric hydraulic valve and I came across the valve block of baraki, anyone have any idea whether this can be combined with v2 pcb and my tractor? the previous tractor owner had a trimble hydraulic control so i think its easy to install the baraki valve.
after thinking and reading for a while I decided to look and buy an ‘all in one pb’ instead of the ‘v2 pcb’. I also ordered a baraki valve to install on my tractor (already excited to steer hydraulically).
with my cerea gps system i have always worked with a router that i had incorporated in my component box, this is to receive an rtk signal. I think this is actually a bit cumbersome for this project and takes up a lot of space anyone have any ideas what this router can replace? I thought about a 4G NTRIP Master (https://www.ardusimple.com/product/4g-ntrip-master/) but found it a bit to expensive.
It is best to have a tablet with a built-in LTE modem. Small USB-connected routers work very well. And it’s always better to have the internet on a tablet, then you can use it not only for NTRIP.
