Show Notes
GPS technology is now commonplace on tillage farms but many do not have auto steer installed.
Francis Quigley, Farm Machinery Specialist in Teagasc, joins the podcast to talk about how he built a GPS autosteer system from scratch using the AgOpenGPS platform.
Francis doesn’t describe himself as an electronics or computer expert and maintains that building a system like this is within the reach of most people.
