High amp Motor controller documentation - roedel - 2022-01-29 I just noticed that the high amp motor controller is no longer listed in the store. I tried to access the documentation for it, specifically how to hook up the rudder angle sensor. can anyone help me out here? Trying to get it going in combination with a standard VDO sensor. RE: High amp Motor controller documentation - seandepagnier - 2022-01-30 What is a standard VDO sensor? It takes an analog voltage that changes with rudder angle normally. https://pypilot.org/schematics/highpower_datasheet.htm RE: High amp Motor controller documentation - roedel - 2022-02-03 i am talking about this unit, it was originally developed by VDO and sold with the rudder angle instruments. Meanwhile I found all the information I need to set this up in this thread here: https://forum.openmarine.net/archive/index.php?thread-1414.html Just for my records and maybe others looking into this topic: I am alternatively looking into using a hall sensor, such as this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32422949989.html Since we will only use part of the 360deg sensing capability I will choose the 0-5 Volt version. According to the above thread, rudder angle sensing works with a voltage between 0 - 1.1 volts . So the 0-5Volt Hall sensor should bring me into the right Voltage scope by adjusting the mechanical ratio when connecting it to the rudder. In other words I want to identify the ideal hall sensor to work with Pypilot, I have not found any other forum thread around this topic. Let me know what you think about the model above.
