3 Display: GreenStar Display, GreenStar Display Resolved/Informational Items Controller Communication Errors SeedStar controller communication errors will no longer cause the GreenStar Display to reboot and lose coverage map data. Reference the Software Versions list at the bottom of this document for the latest SeedStar software version. (All Regions) Loss of Implement Settings Implement settings are now retained after reboot of a display installed in John Deere 6/7/9R tractors. (All Regions) Field Doc Connect Coverage Section status and documentation coverage will now display correctly when using Field Doc Connect with John Deere 7/9R tractors. (All Regions) Saving Settings Delay Shutting down the display and saving settings, after creation of new guidance lines, will no longer take an abnormally long time. (All Regions) Auto Connect Arrow Indicator The Auto Connect Arrows will no longer be displayed after the Ethernet cable has been disconnected. (All Regions) GreenStar Display and Large DB Planter Compatibility Resolved an issue which caused the GreenStar Display to stall while booting up, when connected to large DB Planters. This issue was limited to Model Year DB Planters, configured with 47+ rows controlled in 16 sections, and SeedStar XP monitoring. (All Regions) Receiver: StarFire 3000 Receiver Resolved/Informational Items Improved Roll Angle Accuracy Enhancements have been made to the StarFire 3000 Receiver software to reduce the frequency of guess row inaccuracies. (All Regions) Guidance: AutoTrac, AutoTrac RowSense, itec Pro, John Deere Machine Sync New Features AutoTrac Adaptive Curve Gap Fill Adaptive Curve mode will now connect guidance line segments resulting from briefly disabling documentation recording when Documentation is selected as the source for Adaptive Curve generation. Previously, Adaptive Curve guidance lines could become segmented if the header was raised momentarily in a combine or SPFH. (All Regions) AutoTrac Circle Track Distance to Center A Distance to Center calculation has been added to the GreenStar Display while operating in Circle Track mode. This feature is a real-time calculation of current distance from the center of the pivot, and can be enabled/disabled in General Settings within the Guidance Settings Tab. (All Regions) 3

4 AutoTrac RowSense Shift Track When utilizing Autotrac RowSense a Center Shift Track button will now be displayed on the GreenStar Display lightbar for Combine Platforms Model Year 2012 and newer. A Center Shift Track button has also been added to Autotrac RowSense -enabled Home Pages. The Center Shift Track button will only be visible when using Straight Track, AB Curve and Circle Track guidance modes. Center Shift Track will be allowed when Autotrac RowSense is enabled, but Shift Track Settings will remain disabled. (North America and Australia) Competitive Guidance Line Creator The GreenStar Display will now be able to create new Straight Track guidance lines which will align with competitive guidance systems. An additional drop-down menu, Guidance Line Calculation, has been added to the Straight Track Set Track 0 page, which allows for three different creation modes: John Deere, Non John Deere 1, and Non John Deere 2. Non John Deere 1 can be used to align with Beeline guidance lines, and Non John Deere 2 can be used to align with Trimble guidance lines. By default, John Deere is selected. For more information, reference the GreenStar Display Operator Manual. (All Regions) Swap Track Enhancements Swap Track now has the ability to swap between four (4) existing guidance lines within the same field, and selected tracks can be reordered while AutoTrac is engaged. (All Regions) John Deere Machine Sync Network Names The first three characters of the machine name on the network are now visible on the Guidance Page. (North America and Australia) John Deere Machine Sync Unload Request Alert When a leader requests a follower an audible alert will sound for all followers within the network.

5 John Deere Machine Sync Unload Request Acknowledgement When a leader requests a follower, a follower now has the ability to acknowledge the request. Acknowledged requests will be seen by all machines in the network. The requesting leader icon within the leader list will become a button which a follower can press to accept, and press again to complete, the unload request. (North America and Australia) John Deere Machine Sync Speed Sensitivity A new feature has been incorporated into the John Deere Machine Sync Settings page in Follower mode, allowing an operator to adjust the speed sensitivity of the tractor to optimize machine performance and reduce speed surging. The default speed sensitivity value is 100 and has a range of (North America and Australia) 5

6 Resolved/Informational Items Software Update AutoTrac AB Curve Operation Resolved an issue causing AutoTrac to disengage while adjacent AB Curve lines were generated. (All Regions) AutoTrac Adaptive Curve Recording Resolved an issue which prevented Adaptive Curve recording when switching from Straight Track mode with documentation enabled.

(All Regions) John Deere Machine Sync with AutoTrac SF1 John Deere Machine Sync can now be enabled on a Follower machine with an AutoTrac SF1 activation. (North America and Australia) John Deere Machine Sync Diagnostics A change has been made to John Deere Machine Sync Diagnostics to display Valid Home Point rather than Valid Calibration. (North America and Australia) John Deere Machine Sync Documentation Coverage maps will no longer display gaps in Apex when recorded while using John Deere Machine Sync. (North America and Australia) John Deere Machine Sync Combine Latency Excessive A change has been made to the StarFire 3000 Receiver software to improve communication of receiver time/date messages during the operation of John Deere Machine Sync. This enhancement will reduce the occurrence of the Combine Latency Excessive warning. (North America and Australia) Field and Crop Management: John Deere Section Control, John Deere Mobile Weather, GreenStar Rate Controller, igrade New Features John Deere Mobile Weather Wind Speed Averaging Wind Speed Averaging is a feature that calculates and displays an average wind speed rather than an instantaneous value. The operator can set the average wind speed calculation time to a value between 1-30 seconds. Longer intervals should reduce fluctuations in the displayed wind speed. Wind Speed Averaging will not affect the documentation of real-time wind speed values. (North America and Australia) GreenStar Rate Controller Improved Fast Close Valve Control Software improvements have been made to enable Fast Close valves to reach target rate more rapidly on NH3 Applicators. (North America, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Paraguay, Uruguay and Columbia) GreenStar Rate Controller Compatibility The GreenStar Rate Controller is now compatible with the Raven Sidekick Pro ISO Direct Injection Pump.
