Steering angle sensors

trying to fine tune the steering, and noticed in the steer chart that the green line (set point) seems very erratic is the normal? I would have thought it would be a smoother line. The tractor is driving in a very straight line and not much oscillation in the motor. just wondering if this normal or is my WAS sensor to sensitive or something else wrong?SteerChart

Have received my RQH100030 and connected like described above Pin5 5V, Pin1 GND, Pin4 Signal.
The turning radius is about 60° and not 110° like told by SjaakA.
Voltage is between 0,46V (-30°) and 4,13V (+30°)
Is it a bad sensor or did i connected wrong?

Thanks a lot!

This is how it looks. If you have a small deviation of the set angle from the real one, the graph shifts to a more accurate range and you can see this noise with larger changes in the angle, the line will smooth out. WAS looks stable.

Strange, I received a corona-delayed shipment from aliexpress this week, sensor is identical to previous.
Your connections seem to be OK. No magnetic influence?
Effective range is between corners on long side of sensor (see black markings, 107 degrees apart to be precise). DSC_0008
Maybe your sensor is bad??

Got a pair of 2 pieces. Both are identically nearly 70°.
Seems there are different sensors available.
I my case the 110° is the not measured range.

The angle doesn’t really matter to a bit, just alter the mounting geometry to fit.

Im having a little problem, i got the newer tractor today (It was 6 months in the mechanic) and the Toyota WAS (3 pin) that i was using with AOG v3 (no ADS at that time) does not show at all when conected to the v4.3 INO/AOG tried using ADS and not using It and nothing… I installed the old v3 AOG and ino and works fine? Is there a fundamental change the stops the WAS from working on this newer versions??

Yes, as far as I have understood, since version 4 you have to use an ads. There is no analog input any more.

That’s correct. The code for analog input for the was is gone, because it simply doesn’t work well. If you still want analog was, stay at v3 or code it yourself.

Alright ill try to add the analog Code back in, it worked fine for me before, not the fastest or highest def but It was good enough, i would prefer to use the ADS but my was just doesnt seem to want to work with it, cant seem to figure out why

Made It work! Thanks everyone!

For RQH100030 , I’ve understood that :
Pin5 : 5V / Pin4 : Signal / Pin1 GND

But I would like to know where are GND / 5V and signal for Pin2 Pin3 and Pin6.

Thanks

This is my install of the Delphi was.
I tried my best to refer to kaupoi pictures but was unable to get it done perfectly. Is there any settings on agopengps that I need to bare in mind? Eg Ackerman%

there are some who know the pinout on this one

Given it looks bodily identical to the land rover sensor I would say the same pin out would be a good starting point.

From a post above.

@Alan.Webb I also thought it was the same output, but it is not. It’s one I had I would use when I destroyed my Landrover sencor on the Fendt 714, when the suspension goes all the way to the bottom and there was something under the right front wheel, the front loader bracket could just reach the plug, I also tested it as a John Deere Was also without luck, maybe the output is 0-20 mA. With multitester I can measure 182 ohms between pin 1-4, 127 ohm pin 4-5, 220 ohm pin 1-5, can not see they change by turning sensor. Maybe it’s defective!

Pretty certain it’s a hall sensor so measuring ohms across terminals isn’t going to tell you anything.

@Alan.Webb I have also tried with 5 volts and many different combinations, but either nothing comes or there is 5 volts, there is nothing between 0.5 and 4.5 volts

After an issue with my S Class I can confirm quite a lot of Mercedes ride height sensors are basically the same as the LandRover one but with a reduced linkage if that fits better.

The Merc 0105427717 has two identical outputs. The 0105427617 has two outputs, one inverted.
