Engineering Logs

Fabrication, coding, and field trials of the Yield Ops ecosystem.

Project Alpha: Neural Bridge
ACTIVE DEV

Neural Protocol Translation

Building a low-latency ISO-BUS bridge capable of translating proprietary tractor CAN messages into the open Yield Ops protocol. This allows high-speed communication between legacy machine hardware and modern guidance software.

HARDWARE // Teensy 4.1 (600MHz) / Panasonic FZ-G1 Cockpit Tablet
Project Bravo: Liquid Injection
FABRICATION

John Deere 750 Retrofit

Retrofitting a 15ft No-Till Drill with a custom variable-rate liquid fertilizer system. Integrating Wilger flow meters for precise section control via the Neural Bridge.

MISSION // In-Furrow Biological Deployment & BMP Compliance Mapping
Project Delta: Aerial Systems
PLANNING

UAV Cover Crop Interseeding

Integrating DJI Agras T60/T100 platforms for late-season aerial interseeding in Soybean Field 2. Utilizing Mavic 3M multispectral data to define variable-rate cover crop zones.

TECH STACK // DJI Agras / Mavic 3M / Yield Ops Variable Rate Planning
Project Charlie: Voron Protocol
OPERATIONAL

Rapid Prototyping Laboratory

Utilizing a custom-built Voron 2.4 (350mm) for rapid iteration of ASA/ABS mounting brackets and enclosure systems designed for harsh agricultural environments.
