I'm afraid it would be weak so I got the IBT

Ignore my glaring error in the tramlines video - ahem, it was late.

[Toki]

I have this motor

Cytron handle 13amp continuous load, 30amp peak loads, should be ok

Think everyone is learning from your videos

Is it safe to have that many Amps going through the PCB

Hi everyone, I’m currently putting in my wiring harness and I was just wondering how/where people are getting their 12v power from? I’m in a JD 6430 premium if that makes any difference.
Thank you

When you have it working ,can we come have a look

Yes, you can wire to the Cytron directly, so no high currents travel through PCB.

PCB is ok for 10amps.

Do you want some photos ? Or come have a look in person ?

Have a look ,

Yes, I found that the other day. I was just hoping to try rob someone else’s. Before I start going to town on fine tuning it myself.

It’s getting the WAS centred is my hardest problem for me, steering has a bit of a wiggle still, doesn’t help everywhere’s on a hill round here and can be seen from the road

I think I’ve got the same problems! need to make a solid bracket for my WAS.

Good WAS, makes good steering

 

[Toki]

Could you not get a Cytron MD13S?

Think the IBT2 needs extra connections not present on the AIO PCB.

Is that a motor off a car steering rack?

I'm sorry, I saw your question now.
Yes car steering motor

Best way to set WAS offset - engage Drive mode (green tractor) at zero, and watch the horizon. Move the slider accordingly. Forget trying to drive straight and hitting zero, this is way better.

If you WAS isn't zeroed well enough then the symptom is the tractor always ending up just off to one side of the line, but it follows that offset pretty steadily.

Wiggling implies that it's counts per degree or look ahead distances that aren't right.

Also watch proportional gain if it's constantly over-crossing the line

Tramlines.. another mistake caught and tidied a little. In the future, I'll put them up for comment before publishing widely, so watch the telegram channel if you're on it please, the links will be there.

Ok, so I've reset my steer settings in an attempt to tighten up the wiggles ahead of sowing this year.

Did the wizard, and still wiggly. Worse at higher speeds.

Dropped antenna height to 0.

Resulted in almost perfect line. Smooth, and holds the line to within 2cm on the whole at 8km. I'd be happy with that.


But why is antenna height throwing it off so much? I'll need roll compensation in some of my fields, so presumably with it at 0, then roll isn't being factored in. ?
