Description: In this work, two versions of software to control individual nozzles of a static sprayer running based on ISO-bus communication were developed. They provide different interfaces to control the sprayer; via a graphical user interface (GUI) on a laptop and a specified routine written on a microcontroller. The ability to control nozzles individually on the static sprayer is one step toward developing a site-specific spraying system on ISObus-equipped sprayers using machine vision systems. The static sprayer represents one section of sprayer and consists of a virtual terminal ,a sprayer control unit, nozzle electronic switch, a pump, and six nozzles. The methodology included analyzing the communication data, while manipulating the nozzle switch, between all the electronic components on the sprayer. An ISObus harness was made to connect the sprayer to a laptop and log the communication data. They were logged using a Controller Area Network (CANbus) sniffer. A data monitoring software was modified to enable logging all the data on the ISObus of the sprayer. Next, data were filtered and analyzed to find the commands that control the nozzles. Then, an algorithm was written to enable controlling all the nozzles simultaneously. Finally, the GUI software that controls the nozzles from a laptop was written, followed by another version for microcontroller application. The GUI software was verified by creating virtual buttons that control any combination of nozzle and testing all 64 possible scenarios. Similarly, the microcontroller was able to control all scenarios using the timing routine.
