Hello everyone, I’m new to the community and feel a little overwhelmed with the amount of information on here. There’s an incredible amount of knowledge here but I couldn’t find an answer to my specific question so here it goes. I’m looking to build an auto steer system for an Anderson inline bale wrapper. It’s a machine that moves at the speed of about 4 ft. In 30 seconds. The steering is open center hydraulics with a lever style spool valve to steer. ( no steering wheel). As of now I have an RC style servo connected to the steering lever to remotely steer with an RC car controller. The problem is even though I can remotely steer, I still have to do it manually and it’s hard to get a straight line. I’m hoping to integrate AgOpenGPS into this machine. How would be the best way to drive an RC style PWM servo?

Typically they are 50hz. And typically 1ms
to 2ms to determine the position of a servo. A 1.5ms pulse is usually the neutral or center position.
I understand the Cytron driver won’t control RC style servos so I’m looking for something to put in its place that will allow me to control a RC style servo. I hope that makes sense to you all. Thanks in advance.
I would say it would move to slowly to work correctly with AOG.
Have you thought about putting a on-off valve and using a remote?
It’s just installed in serie right on the pump output.
I used a 100$ remote relay kit from princess Auto to replace a broken OEM control module.
I have often wondered how Ag Open would work on my bale wrapper. It is very difficult to get a straight line. I am hoping to try one of these on the hydraulic control valves either in the cab or out side pulling and pushing the hydraulic spool. I hope to be able to automate certain very representative tasks like opening and closing the baler for 10hrs straight
