Rudder position
#5
The current in amps is measured, and the controller cuts power above a threshold. This appears to work fine for the drive units I have, but if there is enough momentum, and not enough padding, it might not be sufficient.

The controller also has (optional) pins for momentary switches (or reed switches) These prevent additional travel in each direction.

rudder feedback can eventually also prevent end of travel but is not fully implemented yet.
