WAS giving high readings

Multimeter on signal and ground pin for WAS with wheels straight ahead.

It’s AOG 5.6.2 I have installed a just reflashed the ino V5 onto the Nano, no difference.

Did you click send after change of counts per degree?

Watch your picture with 28 counts per degree, see steer angle at that time is 87 degrees

Yes pressed save and send, made no difference at all

How did you get the 28 to be accepted by nano?

Does nano blink and restart when you click send?

Found your problem!
You do not have nano connected to computer.
Click on the geeen connect (steer and the correct COM port)in this picture, and you will see change in degree


In Ver 5.6.13 picture look like this:
Make sure your steer wheel is green.
When Nano is connected and AOG is running, then BOTH the RX and TX on Nano blinks fast
If you always connect your PCB Nano cable to same physical usb port, then AGIO should automatically connect at startup (Then COM number does not change)

Brilliant thank you!

I had connected ‘Machine’ rather than ‘steering’!

Now with steering at full lock to the right I get,

Thank you for spotting my mistake.

Enjoy the journey, doing other settings, as Vili is showing in post 2
AND I learned that SEND is not necessary for Counts per degree !

I’m really pleased at how this turned out as I built that PCB and was racking my brain to think if I had made a mistake somewhere!

Nicely worked out, @Larsvest :slight_smile:

Thanks @bluerabbit PCB just did its first bit of autosteering!

Few settings to iron out, but was pretty straight for first attempt.

Fantastic, pleased to hear that it’s all working.

That was quick work on your part too, great stuff.

Hi everibody
I’m using the same WAS and I’m crazy about it. When its angle is 90 degrees it gives 0 volts.
In fact it gives 0 volts betwen 2,2V And 3 volts.
This is the second sensor I tried…

Before installing your WAS sensor, rotate the rotating bar around and find spot where your volt reading is 2.5 Volt. This is the rotating bar position when your vehicle is going straight. As you will gues of this, I think your sensor is in wrong position.
