Install AgOpenGPS and AgIO
Step 1 of the software setup process is to install the AgOpenGPS software. There are two guides to help you achieve this. The video guide is recommended as a starting point. The text-based guide is recommended as a supplementary resource, if required.
Install - video guide
To achieve this, it is highly recommended to watch section 1 of the setup video. Watch from 00:00-03:10 for install, though the whole video is relevant to getting your system fully up and running!
To follow along with section 1, download the latest release of AgOpenGPS.
The linked video above also introduces ‘AOGConfigomatic’, a handy program to simplify configuring your Teensy and GNSS receiver. You can download AOGConfigomatic here. If you have already done this, or have configured firmware through other methods, don’t worry - just be sure you’ve configured them correctly to avoid headaches in the future!
