Before upgrading to the vOS 1.17 update series
This vOS release requires updates to implement configurations. Failure to update these may result in the inability to run missions, or pauses during the mission.
Please visit the vOS 1.17.0 release notes for more details.
John Deere 5M vehicles will also need to calibrate the throttle after the first install of a vOS 1.17 series update.
Switchbox LED Updates
The Power LED will now illuminate when the vPFM is powered on, or "Awake" instead of being on once the software on the vPFM is running and ready to run a mission. This will help to indicate when remote wake has functioned properly but another issue may be present. As when the system is awake, the power led will be illuminated.
Resolved Issues
- Geofence Pauses when Performing the Outermost Headland or Field to Field Transits: At times, the system used to pause as a precaution while navigating the outermost headland or during transitions through the tunnel connecting fields on field to field transits. This issue has now been severely mitigated.
Known Issues
-
Remotely Resetting Service Brake Actuator Errors: In some cases, the service brake error will fail to clear if the autonomy and throttle toggle on the switchbox are in auto.
Workarounds:
- Flip the autonomy and throttle switch on the switchbox to manual, then clear the service brake error.
-
The PTO ‘Engage’ button for the Agrivator is active at the wrong times: When a "Device Reset" is performed with an Agrivator attached, or when the Agrivator is assigned to the vehicle while the 3-PT hitch is raised, the PTO "Engage" button becomes enabled. However, when the implement is lowered, the button becomes grayed out.
Workarounds:
- Assign the Sabanto autonomy system to an aeration mission and click ‘Begin navigation’. The system will then control the implement autonomously as needed.
- Lower the 3-PT hitch and perform a 'Device Reset'.
