[Introduction] AG960 AutoSteer System



AG960 AutoSteer System (“AG960”) is designed for precision agriculture and machinery. It takes advantage of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) differential technology, acquiring the position information of the agricultural machines within centimeter level, controlling the guide wheel of agricultural machines through electromagnetic hydraulic valve. As a result, agricultural machines can achieve automatic operation along the planned route. AG960 can be installed to small, medium and large farming vehicles with hydraulic power steering system, such as tractor, harvester, sprayer etc. It will enhance the operators’ work, improve the operation accuracy and efficiency and reduce the working intensity of operators.

Autopilots Work with GNSS (GPS/GLONASS/BDS) and Differential Reference Station

During the operation, GNSS reference station broadcasts the satellite reference observation data via the data transceiver, and the autopilot precisely calculates the position and speed of itself with GNSS satellite signal and reference station signal received. Following the specified operation route, autopilot drives the electro-magnetic hydraulic valve to realize the guidance of wheel movement and operation route auto-tracking of the agricultural vehicles. For a single GNSS reference station, it can serve as many autopilots as required at the same time. However, the work area it may serve depends on the radio transmitting power of the reference station. In case of portable reference station, the work area usually is within 3km, while in case of stationary reference station, the work area can be up to around 20km (The work area will be reduced accordingly when there is windbreak and unfavorable topography between the reference station and agriculture machines in work).

How to Use Oscar to Collect Static Data for A Given Length of Time

Usually, we need to collect static data for a given length of time, for example, 2 hours. In the past, the surveyor had to record the start time and keep an eye on the clock all the time. The function of setting the static collection duration in Oscar GNSS Receiver can solve this problem. When setting the static survey, the surveyor only needs to enter the duration time, then start it, and no more attention will be required. When the time is up, Oscar will automatically stop recording, with no fewer or more data. Now we show you how to set the Oscar static collection duration on the OLED display of Oscar. 1. Turn on the Oscar, press the Power ON/OFF button and Function (FN) button, and go to Mode Config -> Static. The default option of Static is OFF, and you can press the Function (FN) button to switch it to “Auto” or “Manual”. 2. Go to Duration to set the collection time, for example, 120 minutes. 3. Set other options, then choose “Confirm”, and it will start to collect st...

What is CORS network? How to connect to CORS network with external Bluetooth module and mobile phone?

A CORS is a Continuously Operating Reference Station. The CORS is an appealing way to do RTK due to its convenience and large coverage area. While Tersus Precis-BX305 currently does not support build-in NTRIP client feature. An alternative way to connect CORS network is employing external Bluetooth module and a cellphone. Here is a detailed procedure about how to connect to CORS Network with Precis-BX305 board.  Demonstration of connecting Precis BX305 to CORS Network Hardware & Software Requirement Precis-BX305 GNSS antenna GNSS antenna cable  External Bluetooth module Bluetooth cable Cell phone (android system) 5V DC charger Software required Ntrip client (free android apps)    Connect to CORS Network Please follow below steps.  Connect GNSS antenna to Precis-BX305. Connect external Bluetooth module to either COM1 or COM2 of the board Connect to power supplier and plug in/turn on the power Turn on the Bluetooth of the mobil...
