OK, so here's where I am so far. Have an RPI4, USB GPS dongle, installed V2.0 of openplotter. Everything working fine.
Have an ST4000 wheel pilot
Bought IMU MPU9250
Bought Sean's $80 motor controller
Wiring:
Motor Controller:
Brown to pin1 (tied to IMU VCC)
White to pin8
Blue to pin10
Black to pin6
Black and red power to 12V
White wires to ST4000 motor
IMU:
VCC to pin1 (tied to motor controller brown)
SDA to pin3
SLC to pin5
GND to pin9
I have red and green lights on the motor controller.
Enabled I2C in Pi settings (because Pypilot GUI said to do so)
"Check settings" showed "please enable a signal k connection for Pypilot NMEA 01830. See picture "check settings 1" pic. So I went to pypilot and selected "add connection" for both. See "add connection" pic.
See pic "status" which shows what I see from pypilot and the web control interface. Note "compass or gyro failure. no motor controller".
I'm brand new to all of this. Would anyone like to comment on what I've done so far and what to do now?
