Hi together,
I finally made it to build the awesome Autopilot from Sean D'Epagnier (a huuuuuuge Shoutout for your work!
) and steered already some miles with it and figuring out the right parameters.
But I noticed, that if the the Motor (Autohelm Motor, directly connected to the H-Bridge (this one)) travels to starboard, it is smooth and direct way.
But if it goes to port, the Rudder ist first moving for a half second to starboard, than moving to port for a while, but if the motor stops, it ends with a short movement again to starboard.
And therefor the Distance is shorter and the Boat is making huger oszilations to one side, 'cause of the corrections pypilot has to make.
I tried to figure out, why this is happening, going through the motor.ino code but couldb't find any point, whats the reason for this behavior.
The H-Brige also works fine, when I test the Mosfets by pulling the Inputs on High for each direction.
Does somebody has any ideas, why this is happening?
Thanks a lot in Advanced,
Maarten
