Multi-network sims change in 30-60 seconds.

Looks good value if that's £44 for 1GB per month for 12.

I use Scancom for cameras, and electricity use monitoring, they are slow for general Wi-Fi use, but I would expect perfect for this job. Really cheap.

I'm sure this has been asked already, but how much data would you need for just running AOG?

ive never checked but i rekon itro 2gb max if used everyday for 30 days

actually is there a way on phone or tablet to check data use?

Not much, working say 10 hours, 7 days a week, 30 days a month about 1GB.

So for most people 1GB is plenty, make sure Windows updates are over WiFi only though and half an hour of Netflix would drain all the data!

2GB allows for the odd update and a bit of Googling.

They are having issues the last few days
I lost signal for 20mins yesterday

So take it you don't bin the drill markers then.
Might be what's wrong here as well then but things have been so wet I've not made it into the fields to try. Been in a few fields this week now and its all over the shop apart from one field that was pretty much spot on once things were set up.
Today got lost RTK on screen all morning but tried switching on the yellow painter button and it seems fairly accurate compared with me following the drill marker. What is giving it the signal? (No steering lightbar guidance only just now)

"They" referred to RTK2GO, you might bin them instead of drill markers (to be honest, we use markers even if we have no RTK issues and no need for markers).

If you lose "signal", you have to check first if it is the RTK correction signal issue (check latency and cellular coverage) or if it is from too few GNSS satellites, perhaps because of trees blocking sky view.

i just did 2.5 hours power harrowing using phone as hotspot for the rtk.
a few whatsapp vids n messages too and i used 22mb per hour

We’re talking to the tractor (MF6616). Next to do is settle on the settings, seems to be lots of steering adjustments and over reaction.

Go through the wizzard thoroughly

I've done it a few times, just refreshing my knowledge before having another go.

Set it to "metered network" in windows, that's the cure.

Today's awesomeness... AOG: No tractor required !

You've got that setup well by looks

I'm sure you could be made completely redundant either by hacking the switch or prodding it with an actuator triggered by the implement lift parameter/section control (same thing really).

Could go all night or have a hours kip between fills

Canbus? Find the code, send the trigger as you cross headland?
