Just starting with smart farming tools? Or maybe you're tired of systems that are too complicated? Then the FJD AG1 Guidance System could be just what you need! It makes driving in the field easier and more accurate, so you can focus on your work, not the technology. This guide will show you how to use the AG1, from hardware setup to parameter configuration. You'll be using it easily and feeling confident in no time!

Getting Started with AG1

Unlike complex autonomous systems, the AG1 doesn't replace your steering wheel—it guides you in real time using a simple setup: one GNSS receiver and a terminal tablet. Unlike fully autopilot systems (which can be expensive and complicated), the AG1 keeps things simple and practical in every way.
 

Connecting Hardware Components

Before hitting the field, let's get AG1 ready with a simple hardware connection.
Step 1: Install & connect
  • Install the GNSS receiver on the top of your tractor and the tablet in the cab.
  • Bind the GNSS receiver to the AG1 via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection.
  • Power on the GNSS receiver and wait for it to connect to satellites.
Step 2: Set up your control terminal
  • Turn on the AG1 tablet.
  • Connect to RTK or PPP, and wait until the RTK or PPP signal is obtained. Then, check the RTK signal icon on the upper right status bar.
  • Connect to other differential signal sources.
Step 3: Prepare your work
  • Go to the Overview screen to see your fields and tasks.
  • Rename default entries by clicking Add. For example, "Southwest Corn Plot" for a field name & "Spring Tomato Planting" for a task name.

Planning Navigation Paths

The AG1 provides a lot of guidance lines—virtual lines that tell you where to drive or operate. Here's how to create them.
Step 1: Create a boundary (optional)
  • After connecting the differential signal, Click Line Creation > Record.
  • Drive around the edge of your field, and draw a closed boundary line on the AG1 based on your field contour. Or, import an existing boundary map from FMS or third-party platforms.
Step 2: Choose a baseline
  • Click Line Creation and choose your desired baseline type (straight, curved, pivot, or headland).
  • Once the baseline is created, evenly spaced baselines will appear on the screen.
Step 3: Adjust baseline parameters
  • In Overview, adjust working width and conjunction spacing to align baselines with your target area.

Starting Farming Work

Step 1: Start recording
  • To start a task, click Record, and your driving paths will be rendered yellow while you're working and saved in the system.
Step 2: Follow the on-screen guidance
  • During operation, steer your wheel by following the on-screen offset value (showing how far you are from the baseline) and direction indicator (an arrow pointing left/right). In the four data zones, you can see line sequence, worked area, progress, efficiency, and speed.
Step 3: Finish and save
  • After finishing a task, click Record again to complete the job.
 

Checking Task History

Once you finish the task, the system will automatically save your records for your reference in the future. You can check your working history with these options:
Option 1: On the AG1 terminal tablet, go to MENU > Field > Task to see past jobs, and tap any task to check its details.
Option 2: Via the FJDynamics app. Log in to the app, select your AG1 device, and view task paths and worked areas. If you don't install the app, download it from the App Store or Google Play.
Option 3: Using web-based FMS (some features are paid). Log in to the web platform with your FJD accounts for task details and report generation.

So, it is simple to use the AG1, right? Just follow this quick guide and start your precision farming journey with real-time navigation from the AG1. Ready to give it a try? Grab your GNSS receiver and tablet, head to the field, and let AG1 boost your farming efficiency!
