Hello,
Just a quick question, Will this work with t4 panther with trollmaster ?
Thanks in advance,
Cory

The standard pypilot controller assumes a reversible brushed electric motor, which means reversing polarity to two motor wires can steer in both directions.
If you can manage to move both directions directly applying power from the battery in this way it will work. The next step is measure the current in amps while moving to ensure the standard motor controller is sufficient.

I’ve used a t5 panther in the past. It worked but not reliably. I suspect the duty cycle is not high enough for auto pilot I’ve since built a bracket for a linear actuator and that works much better.
