V 5 Beta

you are right, VTG shows this 0,2 to 0,4 km/h speed when standing still.

So the versions till 5.0.0.3 display this as 0 , from 5.0.0.4 and newer display the actual measured gps (VTG) speed. I will crank up the autosteer startspeed to above 1 km/h and try the newest version again!

Ya, an old bug got into the silly thing again. Silly github drives me nuts!!

Here is it fixed - and has tram relays too.

Machine_USB_v5_0.zip.txt (3.0 KB)

Hello,

No bug repport, some question:

What do you mean by dual roll ? Roll from dual antena ?

Now there is a filter on roll inside AOG: what filter type is it and to what filter parameter correspond the slider ?

Nice !

Math

It works, but not well. The relays that are connected to pin 5 and 6 do not work.

5 and 6 are Tram relays. 3 and 4 are hyd lift 7 to 12 are sections

Yes, the height of each antenna translates into roll.

Just a complementary filter from 0 to almost forever smoothing. Set until you feel its “perfect”.

Question: Is it an easy fix to make it so that AB curve would work when doing a complete full circle under a center pivot Irrigator? Currently works fantastic with sections of a pivot, like up to 300 degrees worth (which is most of our pivots). But if you try and create an ab curve on a 360 degree irrigator, I’ve found the end result is bent lines that head in random directions away from the field. On the sim, if you hold a constant steer angle of a few degrees and drive a full circle to create an ab curve line, you’ll see what I mean I think.

Just tested, mine goes to 0. It takes a little afer satnding still, but it´s counting down to 0 at 5005

Hello together

my first field test today - beginning was super. I´m used to spend min 1h for doing the calibration stuff on tractor- with new version it took ~10 min. Thanks to all developers and special to you Brian!!
And the best is, even if the calibarion went fast, tractor went smooth on line. Supercool.

One bug I found, I think. When you click the button “shift AB Line 1/2 working width” tractor goes in the opposite direction of the arrow. The other arrows for shifting AB xcm are correct.

As I wrote before I´m not so happy with the center AB Line Button. If I press while driving, weird things are happening like AGO is changing from forward to reverse.
If I´m standing and press the “center AB” Button, ist counting down, but not to zero. I´ve to press a second time, than it goes near 0. But if I go on again, it shows -10 from line for example and tractor does some wild steering action. So I dont trust this stuff.

What I miss: as I wrote before, It would be nice to allow slow speed, from 0,1 km/h. If we plant leek, every 10cm has to be a plant and people on planting machine are not that fast, that they could do this at 0,5 kph
Another thing I miss, is the option to change the degrees of AB Line. Spcial in veggy production we have to go exactly the same line. If I create AB line from KML file they are always a little bit different, depending on the points aof the boundery I click. In 4.3 I could correct this very easy and set AB to 27,198 for e.g… But maybe it´s still on 5005 and I didn´t find.

But, if there are some things we can discuss here, its a very great development and specialliy for beginners very easy now to come in. Very nice!

Maybe once the souce code is released, we can start modifying it for the slower speeds.

It is like Christmas. Presents under the tree all wrapped up nicely. We’ve shook, we’ve peaked, might have even pulled back some tape. But getting really anxious to see what’s in the box. If the wrapping is this nice, it has to be a jewel inside.

I feel pretty spoiled already. But, is there a 3d tractor under the tape ? :grin:

Hello. I have already found the fault. When introducing the trams on pins 5 and 6, you have not renamed the rest of the relays from 0 to 5. They are only from 2 to 7 and that is why the first two did not work for me.
I’ll give it back to you corrected.

Does V5 not work down to 0.1-0.2 speed like previous version? This is fairly critical for me planting veg!

i think 0.5. You can change the ino for your special case.

When you hit half the width snap line over its 50 50 which way you will end up moving the reference line. That isn’t a bug as far as i know.

If you know the degree exactly, why not just create the line that way?

Yup, that was it

Not sure what to even put in the ino. Everyone has such different setups, but i think “examples” with tram, hyd, and sections helps you build what you need.

Don´t need degree back. I was used to create via kml and correct degree but I also can create an AB line with my degrees. Didn´t use this function in the past, so, didn´t know about exist.

@ line: now I understand: you are thinking from line, I from driver. But if you think from line it´s locigal

So everything is fine for me!

Thank you all for testing the Beta finding bugs. Many hands make the work light, and this applies to finding all the possible click combinations that have issues.

v5.1 release out soon.

I posted a video on telegram of my 5.005 doing the magic roundabout thing. It seems to get mixed up with the forwards / backwards sensing pretty regularly. Especially if I reverse round a bend then shuttle.

IMU output is rock steady.
