General Diagnostic Steps
-       Loss of entire planter, what is the piece of information that will tell us what we should chase down first?
What are the lights doing?The light status tells us whether we are chasing communication or power.
-       Gaps or skips of coverage in field.
Dig to verify in ground what we have.Watch the GPS page to see if our GPS speed drops out while running.Watch the lift switch state in field.
2024.1.9
 
-      All .1 users should make the upgrade to 2024.1.9
Auto Load fixesMapping improvementsFlip implement
- Planters/Seeder – Flip implement only works when the plater/seeder is in the lifted state.
- Sprayers- Flip Implement will only work when the sprayer is NOT spraying.

General Notes
-      Replant Instructions are on product resources (linked below) on the steps to take when doing a replant.

-      If someone is running liquid, and they are running a consistent rate and speed through the field, then it is fully acceptable to run in Constant and take out the time to do a pump cal.
Gen 2
-      On a 2100 series planter, when getting lift state through the Case lift switch either stay on 2020.0.1, or if updating to 2020.0.4 use a Y harness (729818). Another option to get lift state is to install a push button lift switch for lift state.
2024.1.X
-      If you have growers that are going to be running .1, and they haven’t started yet, please spend some time with them and go out and make sure that they are set up and ready to go. If the system hasn’t been set up yet, it does take some vigilance and time to make sure that things aren’t missed.
-      On a vApplyHD system, we do show shaft speed if we have a shaft speed sensor. This is different from .0 where we didn’t, this is a diagnostic tool. We don’t control to a commanded shaft speed, but it is helpful when diagnosing things to know what the shaft speed is.

System Wide Notes
Diagnostics of compressors - "My compressor won't stop running, or, my compressor wont kick on."Specialty crop and seed corn setup best practices.GPS resources, if there is a display that we don't have a document on and you figure out how to connect and where to set it up in the OEM display, please grab screenshots and let us know the steps that were taken to create a document on it.
.1
If you are on .1, please keep up to date on software updates.specialty crops and seed corn setups and crop change. Different processes in .1 than in .0 softwares.If you have a frame mounted lift switch (primarily whisker switches), you need to do the calibration. If it calibrates to 0 and 100, then put manual percentages in for 5 lowered and 95 lifted.
