Step by step guide for beginners

@Siberian Getting the wheel angle sensor set right for me was a matter of trial and error. My first attempt at installation was out enough that the software couldn’t correct it (with the slider). It just took a little adjustment of my sensor mount to get it physically centred better. Once it was set correctly it worked like a charm.

Bwatts, thank you for the tip. I followed the same path as you. I also shifted the mounting of the sensor to one side. Now the slider “Wheel Angle Sensor Zero” is around 74.20210215_200239

Tell me you have the same “noises” coming from the wheel sensor at the average position of the wheels. When the wheels are turned, there is no such distortion. Maybe this is due to the absence of the R7 C4 chain. I use a “spider” board instead - a mock-up assembly.

“distance” between white lines shift automatic. In your first picture it is probably 1 degree between lines and in second I think it is 0.1 degree between them. That is why you see the noise better in second picture.
Noise probably comes from power supply, so capacitors helps.
What kind of WAS do you use, hall angle sensor or a potentiometer?

I use a potentiometer. Perhaps this is due to the power supply, but then why are they not there when the wheels are turned. They only work with straight wheels.

Check the connection at the WAS. It should be stable at zero. I had similar trouble, and it turned out I had knocked the cable and seemed to getting an intermittent connection. It got worse then started to snake before I figured it out. The connector needs to be pushed in very hard.

The noise is still there but you can’t see them, because the y scale is not the same.
The Toyota sensor you found is probably a potentiometer, not a hall sensor.

Hello, im new to agopengps and i cant find any information about, how much Mobile Data the Programm needs for the Correction Signal.
Is it like 100mb an hour or more/less, could somebody tell me the general amount of Data that is pulled from maybe the Hotspot of my Mobile phone?

About 1 Mbyte/hour from my private base (GPS/GLONASS). Tried one multi-constellation modern EUREF base and got almost 10 MBytes per hour.

Thanks for the information, but what is a private base and do i need it to get stardet with autosteering?

With “private base” I mean the RTK base station that I own myself.

You can use AOG to steer your tractor even if you did not have any RTK base station but the accuracy is not that good. I believe the majority of AOG users run it on RTK accuracy. Depends on the type of field work.

Some countries provide a free RTK correction signal. You would not need your own base then. You might also purchase the correction signal from a neighbour or some specialised company.

Ok, i live in Bayern Germany and as far as iknow there is LFPS available all over Bayern, which means i wouldn’t need my own Base Station etc.
Correct me if im Wrong. :sweat_smile:

Yes, it seems that you are lucky. When you have a receiver, I advise you to first take a free trial period. For testing and configuration. Usually in geodetic companies, this is from one to three days.

I thought SAPOS is free, why then a trial period?

Thanks, did not find that page. I’ve only heard talks about free SAPOS. Comparing with commercial (private sector) prices, one could still call it free.

hi, how are you doing
i am from grande prairie alberta and have already downloaded agopen on my laptop,
this was a couple of months ago or more
at the time it seemed as if it went easily
i built my board and tested to laptop , seemed to work good but did not get the corrections working yet.
anyway to go further i wanted agopen to be installed in a tablet for use on tractor instead of my laptop.
i purchased a windows 10 tablet
and am trying to put agopen into it
when i go to github it does not shows the " releases " tab

i believe, and you might to verify that i want to download a file with " application " at the end of the file
but I cannot find it

i do see following though,
AgOpenGPS_v4.3.10.msi
support files.zip
source code(zip)
source code (tar.gz)

I have been trying for a couple of days now and I thought I might ask your opinion

do I have improper settings on windows 10
maybe I dont have proper github
am hoping to get it all working, especially now that the snow is starting to go and spring work is around the corner

what do you think

The msi file should work to install aog.

Thank you
Got running on tablet
