Free RTK

Just out at a local farmer, new fendt going onto freertk (saving the 600 "discount" price he was quoted from a popular provider). While I was there, set the sprayer up to use same via his phone, so that saves a subscription and a SIM card. And will do the other fendt and the Massey some time soon. Quite a saving in total !

Better in your pocket, folks ! Looking to save a fortune, send me a message and I'll advise. All free and if you're nearby I might even set it up for you for nothing.

Cool !

Morning all! Your wonderful AOG developer team have been hard at work and it's finally time for the big reveal - THE FUTURE OF AGRI-AUTOMATION !

As we know, agOpenGPS is great at keeping you on the straight and narrow - but the system is limited in what it can achieve with all your other needs. With the latest in artificial intelligence, we are finally proud to announce - CoPilot for agOpenGPS!

Coming soon, watch this space!

Might take it on the track when he's not looking !

New car arrived - just the thing to navigate those tight farm lanes on the way to your agOpenGPS happiness !

YouTuber Tom Lamb putting up his own RTK base station. I know the chap who helped him do it... And I know whose YouTube guide he followed 😀

RTK BASE STATION (DIY Satalite build will it work and drive my tractor?) Home made rtk base station buildParts list Ardusimple F9P £150, Antennae £50, Raspberry Pi 4b £30, Pi PoE Hat £25, PoE injector £20, plus cables all excludin...

Meanwhile, at AGRITECHNICA :D

So, something is missing here... No wheel angle sensor on the combine, but one of the AOG team had rattled up some code to approximate it using roll, g-force, inertia etc. and damn it works well, tho I wouldn't use it on a tractor, it's certainly good enough to combine with! (Sowing wasn't done with AOG incidentally!)

Back from Belladrum, couple of hours fieldwork with an NH combine enjoying the agOpenGPS straight line goodness, until a puncture brought things to a temporary end. Then a quick return to a Case combine I'd looked at earlier, to bring a moisture sensor to life.

Not a bad day! Turriff Show tmrw, if it's still on, kit an amazone sprayer for GPS so it can do its own section control, and possibly autosteer a fendt and an Arion. Busy busy for the next couple days !
