Gps guidance

Posted by Carlos on November 9, 2012 at 12:17pm

Hello all.

I´m really impressed for what you´re doing here, either with arduplane, ardurover..

You seem to have solved really difficult challenges..

I´m a farmer with some high knowledge about hydraulic, electrical systems, c programming.. 

I´m looking for a gps guidance over some known patterns for tractors and harvester.

I know one of the main assumptions for this group, or biggest one, is to keep system autonomous but you seem  to have reached further than my hopes.

So, as 1 first approach, do you think ardurover would fit my needs? do you know similar proyects?

Thanks in advance , and keept it up!

    I am keeping an eye on this one. Keep us up to date with your progress.

    Hi all!

    I´ve come across another guy trying to do the same. I´ve told him to join us

    I never heard about farming simulator, but i´m downloading right now.. Thanks Niall. i´ll try to chech how to feed it with gps data.

    I feel the same about the code. Before i spend hours reading thousands of c lines, is there a ny manual, high level arq desing i may satrt with?

    I mean, is Ardurover based on a Pid controller to minimize errors ( for example)

    I definitely  will try with arduino..

    I'm also a farmer working on something similar to yourself. I think the ArduRover is a great starting point for this kind of project. The main problem that I'm having is understanding the ArduRover code. Currently I'm using a second Arduino to adjust the output from an APM 2.5

    I would be interested hear how your project progresses.

    Rgds,

    Hi Carlos, I'm new and was about to ask similar questions. I'm interested in amateur geophysical survey which needs GPS guidance to have lane discipline as required in harvesting together with constant speed over ground.

    This needs a 'lane width' variable to reset next waypoint alongside Lat and Long adjustments for calculation so you achieve 100% field coverage.

    I'm not a programmer but is this a difficult sub-routine to include at some point in the mission planner to make this calculation automatic? or has someone already done it?

    If anyone can help or offer advice it's gratefully received..
