AgOpenGPS Visual Guide (Lightbar) Manual

🛒 RTK Guidance Product: https://agopen.shop/lightbar Start with visual guidance and you're already halfway to a full autosteer system – all at a fraction of the market price, with professional accuracy. 🛠️ 1. HARDWARE INSTALLATION AND PLACEMENT Antenna Positioning: Mount the antenna on the hood or cab roof. Since this kit lacks a tilt sensor (IMU), hood placement is recommended to minimize positioning errors caused by the tractor’s tilt on uneven ground. Lateral offset can be adjusted in the software. Tablet and Power: The RTK receiver receives data and power via USB from the tablet. The tablet holder can be secured with four bolts. Power is provided by the included cigarette lighter charger. 📡 2. ACCURACY AND CORRECTION (RTK FIX) Galileo HAS Technology: Achieve ~20 cm accuracy without an internet signal using the latest European satellite features. RTK Correction: Connect to the free community RTK network via mobile hotspot for 2.5 cm precision. 💻 3. SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION (AGOPENGPS) Connection & The GPS "Trap": In AgIO, select the RTK receiver's COM port (usually the highest number). Be careful to avoid selecting the tablet’s built-in GPS, as it lacks the required precision. Data speed is fixed at 115200 baud. 🚜 4. OPERATION AND EFFICIENCY Field Management: Create a new field for every plot. Record boundaries by driving the perimeter to enable area measurement. Files are saved with the date and operation type for accurate work logging. Navigation: Choose between AB lines, curves, or boundaries. Customize visual aids (arrows or dots) to help you drive accurately. Adjust guideline count and width to your needs.
