So if I save the tractor I save automatically environment and tool in the same file?
Yes, the whole thing. Save the entire “system”
XML has tremendous benefit, but to program all required to do individual is a lot for just a short term version. Using text files as we do now is a huge pain.

if it is only for this “hybrid” version for me there is no problem 
Hello Mr Brian, the road recorder is gone, how can I find a solution to use autonomous vehicles, which version should I use for autonomous.
The original version

Both ways have their advantage. do you want to load a vehicle by doing it 3x or more after a setup is made or just once?
I kind of like the one. There is “save as” so if you had a jd with harrows and till, make one first, then save as, modify the couple things like width and hitch length, save the second one. That way anyone jumping in there can easily load the whole thing without knowing a bunch of names.
I downloaded upgrades, but there is no msi. I tried to copy and past the one from 4.3.10 into the folder just ahead of the source code, but I still get the standard 4310 gui on the screen. I just don’t understand a lot of the computer process. could somebody explain how ? Thanks
You have to compile it with visual studio by yourself
Okay, thanks, but thats outside of my ability. Back to waiting.
HI,
I would say that if you can “copy” a configuration into a new one it should be good to have everything in one config. I think of it as a “save as” option.
And so I would have as a saved configuration list:
tractor 1 + tool 1
tractor 1 + tool 2
tractor 2 + tool 1
tractor 2 + tool 2
…

thinking about it, you know it’s not a bad idea … by saving the tractor + implement combination together, you can also set the tow length based on the type of implement itself (towed or carried) without modifying or reloading the vehicle …maybe put them both on the same configuration page… has my support

@BrianTee_Admin - Took your advice. But used point data class as it was not being used at the time. This is mapping speed of the far left and far right tool. Lots to add yet, but it does not mess with the sections. It works only when the tool is on. In this picture I have just deleted the applied area. Thanks for the advice.

This post and video from way back explains it. Had never compiled aog until this morning.

The latest development will be here : https://github.com/farmerbriantee/AgOpenGPS/tree/v4_Upgrades
It has Vili’s cool graphics now. Please test, now is the time to try. Also the integral setting in Steer settings needs to be set to about 20% as it defaults to 0. This version now saves to XML in the vehicles folder - have a peak at it, it is quite nice to read.
So what is does is it takes a copy of the user.config from the AppData\AgOpenGPS folder and makes a copy of it - the easy part. Then to import with some xml magic, the contents get written back to the user.config at which point AOG reloads all the settings again - no need to restart the program I hope any more.
If you want to use with arduino, change the version line in the ino from 17 to 18. Haven’t tested it with arduino code yet - but should work…

There was a problem with startup license screen, got that fixed. So many ways to crash.
Can you have more than one version on your computer? Can I have the application 4.3.10 and this upgrade on same computer and use either one, but not at same time?
Great information. Thanks wwfarm. followed Brians video, now to test.
If the recorded path is taken out from this upgrade, is there some other way of using AOG with Controlled Traffic Farming?
Tried the latest one. Changed to 18 in ino. Everything seems to work, but no power to cytron from dir pin. I’m probably missing something, but I changed the ino back to 17, and loaded 4310, and everything works great. Any ideas ?
I changed 4310 to 4410 in the ino above the 17 that I changed to 18 to match the math. The program runs great in simulator, and WAS and steer switch work correctly. I have good GPS coming in. Could changing #define EEP_Ident 4310 to 4410 have any effect on the dir pin to not have output ?
