Welcome to the AutonomousGrainCart wiki!

The purpose of this wiki is to document installing hardware in various makes of tractors and to provide links to hardware and software used in this project.

Links

ArduPilot Software that runs on Pixhawk and many other hardware platforms
Rover wiki Very good place to start. RC vehicles are cheaper than tractors!
DIYDrones All sorts of good info here for making your own drone.

How much work is this? Check out my original forum posts for an idea of what you are up against. Also a good place to get ahold of me if you have questions. If your tractor has electronic controls then you can tap into those using an arduino (see JD7930 for an example) instead of installing actuators in the cab. Neither method is easy. In the future tractors may be designed to allow this through the CAN BUS but for now we have to hack!
