| First thing first.
If it is really frustrating, and you are at wits end, unplug everything but one module and set it up and get it working first. Make a new implement for testing purposes. You can delete it later. Make sure you move your CAN terminator to the box you are trying to calibrate from. That way you only have to set up the one and you have 1/4 of the problems initially. That way there is no confusing the other modules and you only have not to setup. Once that is working well, you can just make a new implement with another or all of them if you feel up to it. Set up the module as rate as section. I can't remember but I believe you need the working implement switch first, so I probably would use that module.
When you get the one working and are ready for all 4 then...
The hydraulic valves do not matter, but the FIQ boxes should be in order, the lowest closest to the FM. It just makes it easy to identify them. The seed module can be anywhere inline. Make sure you identify which box has the implement switch.
I believe (hopefully someone who knows better than me will chime in) that when you set up an implement x wide and the rate modules as rate as section and each as 1/3 of x it will automatically figure that each is the third you want. Another important reason to have the rate modules in numerical order.
You stated that you are showing slow rpm's in the calibration. So it does actually spin the shafts? Albeit slowly? Have you tried changing the gain or minimum response when calibrating? What about minimum rpm? Is that set too fast? Or maximum RPM... Is that too slow? What sort of drives? The ones on ours are Deere and the rpm meter is on the end of the drive motor, with a ratio between that and the planter main drive shaft. I do not know the exact numbers, but on ours, he MAIN planter shaft turns about 60 rpm's at 5.5mph. I am not sure what the drive turns, I would have to look do the math on the ratio and figure it. For our planter I believe I have it set at something like 10rpm. What type of rpm meter are you using? A DickeyJohn has 360 pulses per revolution. Is that set properly in the setup?
I know its a lot of questions, but there is lots of set ups that need to be done at least close to get things to calibrate. | |
