Push bottom auto steer enable not working

[wdapp33]

Hello. I’m assembling an auto steer system for family and have run into a couple issues. I don’t have it in a tractor yet so I’m just bench testing but when I short pin 8 to gnd the “steer” LED on the board lights up but the auto steer on the GUI does not turn green. I don’t know why it won’t engage, any ideas? The main LEDS on the boards by the connector indicate auto steer is on when I engage it with the gui but not with pin 8. I’ve attached a picture of my board, One picture with pin 8 nominal and the other shorted to gnd. I did find in the steer settings the option so set the auto steer switch to a momentary button vs a switch and I set it to momentary.

Have you selected 'button ’ in the steer engage settings
Button is for a momentary push button
Sometimes you need to send and save a few times
From default its set to switch i think

I have selected button. I’ll double check after work but pretty sure it saved correctly.

We all have different perseption on how a switch and button works, try to select switch instead.

Edit: maybe you need to reconfigure the teensy, that seems to be the solution in this thread, with same problems as you described.

Steerswitch pin 8, will not keep the steering on all the time

Thank you for the answer, but the difference between the switch and button function is completely clear to me, I have no error in this, I just try all the variants. The result is always the same. a- When I set and use it as a button, the steering never stays stably on, b- when I set and use it as a switch, the steering also keeps turning on and off. Only after switching on the icon on the screen does the steering remain permanently active and the tractor steers perfectly. An interesting fin…

Yes I read that post earlier. I seem to have a different issue as it never turns on. Initially I didn’t know about the setting so it was on switch for a while and did not work. When I found the setting and changed it to button it still did not work.

I think it is time to show us the all settings log/print out.

You are sure you haven’t forgotten to click send, to tell teensy what your settings are.
And you have IP set.

Hey. So I just got back to my hotel and booted it up and it works.. I don’t know maybe the teesny or AgOpen software needed a restart after I pushed the changes to update or maybe I was tired last night doing something dumb. Regardless thanks for taking the time to look at my post and comment! Hoping to get this on a tractor next week and only have 1 more real issue to resolve so I’m excited about that.

there is also a setting to disable remote autosteer, (if set correct you should see an R in the onscreen autosteer button)
