A control assembly provides autonomous control of various functions of a grain cart and/or provides guidance to an operator of the grain cart during the unloading of a grain cart. The control assembly collects input from one or more sensors including a speed sensor to monitor speed of a PTO that drives the unloading auger of the grain cart, a height sensor that measures the height of material discharged from the grain cart into a receptacle such as a grain truck, and/or a boundary sensors that measure lateral position of the grain cart relative to the receptacle or grain truck. Based on the input, the control assembly may vary the position of the discharge gate of the grain cart, or provide guidance to the operator to steer and position the grain cart relative to an adjacent grain truck.
