I’m testing my new AOG setup. I have zeroed the WAS according to instructions on Youtube, and I have also entered correct dimensions of tractor and position of antenna.
But now when I use autosteer on ab lines, the tractor stays on the line one way - but when I drive the same line back the tractor is off by roughly 30cm.
Any ideas on what could be wrong or what to troubleshoot?
Is it 30 cm off but parallel to the outgoing AB line? If so, it might be a setup issue. Make sure to have the dimensions for the antenna offset correct.
Drive along the ab line and stop when you’re perfectly on the line, mark the center of the tractor and then turn around and come back on that same line in the opposite direction and stop when you reach your mark, see how far you are from your mark. Take that measurement and divide by two, that’s how much you need to adjust your GPS antenna left/right offset. Then you can repeat the test from the beginning to see if it’s correct.
Single antenna. Micro v4.1. I believe it’s the latest firmware, or the most stable firmware.
I now created an AB line when driving along on a road. Then I created another AB line when driving back the same road. Now when I compare the lines they are parallel but offset around 30cm.
Make sure your IMU orientation is correct (X or Y). If it’s not, then you’ll be off the line when heading downhill as it thinks the tractor is leaning over.
I will try them as soon as possible. We’re in the middle of harvest at the moment so it will have to wait…
But I am grateful for your answers. I will let you know how it goes.
Update. Finally got the tractor back from repair.
I decided to reset everything in AOG and then use the wizard for steer settings and tractor/antenna settings. I was also very thorough when zeroing the WAS.
After this it seems that the tractor stays on the AB lines with good precision.
It is possible that my issue was a simple user error, since I fiddled with almost every setting in AOG…
