Have you downloaded latest version?

Earlier versions only had 4 switches.

Downloaded rcteensy from your link. Before I used ratecontrollerApp, same result. Only shows 4. Maybe SK21 will react.

Here is another way to make vr maps.

  1. Open an existing field in AOG

  2. Open the App Map page

  3. Turn App Map on

  4. Centre the field on the page

  5. Click the % button and select channel 1

  6. Close the page

  7. Close the field

  8. Open the file RateMap1.png in PhotoDemon https://photodemon.org/

  9. Use the polygon tool on the select menu on the left side of page

  10. Make a polygon of the VR area on the field. The polygon can extend past the field boundaries.

  11. Use the paint bucket tool on the paint menu

  12. Make sure the tolerance setting is 100 at the top of the page

  13. Click on the current color on the right side of the page

  14. Set hue and saturation to 0

  15. drag the value setting to the % for the VR area. This depends on the max and min setting in the rate app. For example if the max is 100 lbs/ac and the min is 0 then a value setting of 50 is 50 lbs/ac.

  16. press OK to close the dialog

  17. fill the polygon with the paint bucket tool. That VR area rate is now set.

  18. Do the same for the other VR areas of the field

  19. Save and close PhotoDemon

  20. Open the field in AOG. The VR mapping should now be visible.

  21. Start the rate app

  22. On the product page select the VR tab and enable VR

  23. With the simulator drive over the VR areas and the target rate should match the area setting.

Do you use a switchbox like this in the cab or do you control the sprayer all by computer? It is not clear to me if a switchbox like this is needed.

The switch box is nice but it is possible to control it all by computer.
