I am using a 10Amp H bnridge PWM controller for it. I had to do a few mods to the Arduino code to drive this. The pump drives a double acting ram that is directly linked to my transom hung rudder. I have a bypass valve across the ram to allow normal tiller steering. This has a switch to detect when it is open that is connected to the Pi and disengages Pypiloy automatically. I also fitted a linear pot in parralel with the ram to give rudder position feedback to the Arduino. Good afternoon! What is a " pumps from Cactus "? Please give me a link. With respect. |
