The sketch about agopengps HOT 3 CLOSED

Cool, thanks.

The one i use is a bit shorter and uses Port calls directly. In AgOpenGPS it OR's or AND's the individual bits and then sends just one byte to Arduino. All the relays turn on or off at exactly the same time.

int inByte = 0; // incoming serial byte

void setup() {
//Pins 8 thru 12 as output, 8 is LSB
DDRB = B00011111;

//PORTB turn off 8 thru 12
PORTB = B00000000;

Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {}

establishContact(); // send a byte to establish contact until receiver responds
}

void loop() {
if (Serial.available() > 0)
{
// get incoming byte:
inByte = Serial.read();
Serial.print(inByte);

PORTB = inByte;

}

}

void establishContact() {
while (Serial.available() <= 0) {
Serial.print("X"); // send an initial string
delay(500);
}
}

Hi Brian! I did see your new sketch to late.

At cerea they use another way. The gps software sends a string to the arduino.

each command beginns with @
then the use strings to assign the commands to different functions.

@hidraulic;1 or 0;End is for a hyraulic command to lift off the machine
@cera;gpsspeed;0 or 1;0 or 1; ..........;End is for controlling the sections.

maybe they use more commands in the future comming from the machine.

it is also possible the send commands from the arduino to the gpssoftware.

i have taken the allsprayer on/off signal from the sprayer to send it to gps software.
the software turns on/off the mark behind the trekkker. this is very usefull when driving a little outside the field.

i did not look in you source code. witch programming language is it?
what hardware are you using?

at the moment i am part of the german user group of cerea. cerea is a spanish software and the
support is terrible - but it is very cheap!

best regards andreas

I'm using C# and the application runs in windows, but it will also run in Linux thru wine. It will run in any windows 7 to 10. Never tried in XP.

I've watched some Youtube videos on Cerea. It is quite good, but as you say support would be difficult.
