GPS Machine Control System Parts and Relative Costs

GPS Machine Control Parts Breakdown
Now time to separate in the mind Rovers and Machines when it comes to GPS systems as the parts are somewhat different.

GPS Rovers-
GPS Rovers consist of a rod, receiver, and a computer.
The rod holds the receiver on top, has a point on the bottom and the computer attached in the middle.
The receiver receives the information from the satellites and the base station and sends them to the computer.
The computer receives information from the receiver and computes the information necessary

GPS Machines-
GPS enables Machines consist of a receiver, receiver mast, a control box, a display, and sometimes actuators.
The mast holds the receiver on top, has a connection to the dirt moving parts on the bottom .
The receiver receives the information from the satellites and the base station and sends them to the computer.
The control box receives information from the receiver and computes the information necessary
IF THE MACHINE IS AUTOMATED The acutators receive information from the control box and move the hydraulics to grade.
