Precision 2020 and that frustrating GPS signal

[BaconMakesItBetter]

Output GPS signal to Precision Planting 20/20 monitor

We used the latest version of GPS_Out: GitHub - SK21/GPS_Out: Sends GPS from AGIO to serial port PP does see the RMC / GGA / VTG messages at 5Hz (38400 baud rate) However it doesn’t want to go further. I’m in touch with Precision Planting, early next week we should get an update from the developers. We asked the local John Deere dealership if they could show the monitor capable to work via another machine but they couldn’t. Turns out the decimal separator became a , instead of a . Monday w…

Obviously I’m not the first to be frustrated with the PP 2020 and the disagreements that it has with AOG, but the previous topic is now closed.

Still need to confirm that it keeps working, but here are a few important details that are found in the manual, but not on the display:

My dual setup outputs the roll-corrected signal, so on this page, I set the height (D) to 1 inch, instead of the tractor cab height.

Then there is this page to double check things

After I did the whole thing, it showed I was off by 26 inches? Why? I have no idea. But I set the B measurement from center to 26. Now it’s working great!
Hope it keeps it up! Would save a lot of frustration.

Actually, you are right! So must be that the serial output is not center of tractor as I thought?

So far, so good. Can’t find much documentation or explanation on how the 2020 decides offsets, etc, but after making those changes, it is working for now.
