Building a board here and I’m not 100% sure I know what I’m doing. All I’m going for is just basic autosteer, no section control

Start off questions are

  1. Can I run one antenna on this board or does it have to be dual
  2. Other then the f9p boards, do I have everything I need to get started or is there a board missing bellow the cytron board?
  3. How/where do I wire in my wheel angle sensor? Do I do that through the ampseal plug.

Thanks in advance for your help

  1. Depends on the firmware you flash. Yes it can do single and dual antenna.
  2. From the picture you are only missing F9P board and most important 2 voltage regulators, the board wont power on.
  3. Yes WAS goes on ampseal connector, pin 1 (+5v), 2 (signal) and 4 (gnd)

You also have the 6 ethernet pins missing from the teensy, with some luck the female socket underneath it will be fitted already

Also the header pins for the f9p have been soldierd in with 2 joins which will make trying to get the f9p pins lined up a bit tricky so take you time and ensure they mate up correctly

Thanks… missed that step. Yes the female socket is fitted already.

Yeah I’ve got the f9p boards already… just don’t have the headers soldered yet. I can’t seem to find any information regarding the voltage regulators on the AgOpenGPS Documentation page, but I see where they go on the board. Would these work, or do you have a link on where I could buy some others?

I use these, they work, just check the orientation. They can get hot but they do the job…

Did you mean to send a attachment, I can’t see what regulator you’re referring too

I was talking about the one you sent l7805. Ones that are ment to be placed dont get hot

I guess, you need a heat sink for this kind of regulators, if you use it under nominal conditions.
