Talking points for this episode are:

-Recommendations on when to update a Gen 2 to 2020.0.4

-If someone says their SmartDepth calibration wont do the offset portion (.0 or .1 software) make sure the 2020 shows the planter lowered.

-Make sure liquid pressure sensor module and rate controller are plugged into same row/location with the same jumper color

-Internal battery failure warning on Gen 3

-Flow rate adjustments-use the worksheet attached here and available on the cloud under vapply->install resources. It is worth reading over it in advance.

-Watch out for growers getting CAN A and B swapped when hooking up to a planter for the first time.

-Gen 3 on .1 software, make sure that the 16" display is being plugged into a DBM on .1 software before connecting for the first time.

-Gen 3 on .1, be sure to select the row unit type in the planter profile or DeltaForce load cells will show up yellow. Also make sure they are zeroed.

-Gen 3 on .0 or .1 software, make sure that there is a control widget set up and enabled for every product, even for products like flowsense and smartconnectors.
