Is there a way to use a laptop running AgOpenGPS to send the variable rate to one of these artemis screens? Or do you need an iPad? Also, with the iPad, does it have a separate GPS reciever or is it just using the inbuilt one?
Hi James, We tend to use an iPad with Cellular and wifi functionality, this is because the cellular aspect gives the iPad the GPS element which we find to be accurate enough for variable rate applications. The issue you may have with AgOpenGPS is the ability to send your GPS position, that said though I have never used AgOpenGPS so have not come across their functionality. The other issue you might find is how to connect your laptop to the Artemis? We utilise a bespoke kit to link the terminals and the iPad. This allows us to send plans from our platform up to the cloud and downloadable to the iPad software. drop me a message if your UK based and I could either walk you through functionality or get one of my colleagues to assist you. Likewise if your abroad we may still be able to assist. Regards Chris
