Reading rudder sense
#1
Hi,

I have successfully in installed opencpn with NOOBS and got my IMU sensor to deliver data to pypilot. My arduino acts like a controller (connected to USB port) and so far a small RC servo reacts when I move IMU and set AP course, great! 

In my boat I have a hydrualic pump with reversing motor that I would like to control via H bridge. Before I install it and try I need to be sure that I do not stall this pump and create damage, therefore I need to able read rudder angle and current but I cannot figure out how to get the reading i opencpn. I have attached a potentiometer to my arduino at adc5 and give it 5 V and ground.

Thanks for a great work!

Regards,

Joakim
