In the mean time I am trying to get it up and running as far as possible.
I connected a Nokia 5110 LCD on the spi interface, the LCD is hardly readable due to a bad connection by the way, so I ordered an other one.
The actuator is an old Raymarine ST2000+, the compass of the thing is defect so I was able to purchase it for little money.
It is driven by an H-bridge, with IRF540/9540, and a couple of transistors (bc547 and bc557), I designed myself.
I use an arduino red board (equal to uno, still waiting for the nano to come in) with your code to drive the H-bridge, the only modification I made was the polarity of the driving pins to the H-bridge. To activate a MOSFET in the bridge, a positive signal is needed.
Could you please post your source code changes or make a pull request?
The irf540 and 9540 has high on resistance. These may work for a few amps but are still less efficient.
The mosfets I am using are 1-2 milliohm, all n channel giving less than 1% losses in the mosfets at 12 volts 10 amps.
Quote:Could you explain me how the filesystem on the pypilot image works? How can I modify e.g. the client.py?I will make more block diagrams soon. For now you should just ask specific questions.
Do you have a block diagram of the whole software? Which blocks there are etc., and how the blocks are communicating?
