the protocol is not good...because it is not really one 
if i understood the code right your controller is no direct drive, so it wouldn't work at all. but maybe i should have written more about the control unit.
The whole control grew over the years. First it was just an arduino for checking temperatures and level (8) with a small control board with leds....then we added the motor control for an slow elecrical movement and a steering for it. it is actually for kanus. 24v with battery
So my control is a electic direct drive for the ship.
the raspi control let the ship slowly make circles or hold position. no openplotter or opencpn, just a small script.
Of course its underpowered but it works well for my needs. i would like the ship to follow some waypoint, of course slowly.
i found some pictures of the control unit. my controller is a dual pololu vnh5019 ...it controls a 500w motor. It's an arduino shield. no way to change pins. the steering works with a very strong servo(like the one from rc cars).
i looked at the arduino sketch of pypilot on github...but to be honest i am not a good programmer.
Do you think i should try to implement my control on pypilot or should i try a easier,not so advanced, project? Thanks
