Drivers

Drivers you usually need for AgOpenGPS hardware — PCAN adapters and USB-Serial adapters.

What you need#

Most AgOpenGPS setups talk to the tractor or implement through one of two interfaces:

  • PCAN (PEAK-System) – USB-to-CAN adapter required for ISOBUS Task Controller, direct-CAN section control and most CAN-based steering integrations.
  • FTDI USB-Serial – Needed for almost every USB-to-RS232 adapter used by serial section-control bridges (TUVR, AGTronik, Bogballe, Hardi, ASD) and some GNSS receivers.

PCAN (PEAK-System)#

Official driver package for PEAK-System PCAN-USB adapters (and clones that use the same chipset). Required by the AOG Task Controller, Virtual Terminal and most CAN tools on Windows.

FTDI USB-Serial#

FTDI CDM driver for FT232 / FT2232 / FT4232-based USB-to-Serial adapters. Install this if Windows does not recognise your USB-RS232 dongle, or if the COM port disappears.
