Issues with ESP32
Ya the dead zone was a pain to deal with it came down to my ref voltage not being fused in.
I had to remap the voltage to fix issues with the voltage curve then Float remap to deg. My dead zone is 350 to 0 deg.
Power... well it is currently at about 240 millAMPS @12V Spec max 5. amps @ 5v. Part of that is the draw from the device used to read it. so it is about 160 milliamps best guess. This could be reduced in the future when the code matures in regards to sleep functions.
Lag is not noticeable i am sending data to RPI WIFI no wires. But more testing is required. I don't drop the connection once it is set hence issue with sleep.
I am redoing my PCB since I am new with Kicad and pooched a few things.
Can Pypilot read the Sk wind keys or do i have to stick to NMEA?
I ask because i am thinking of a rewrite to Sigksens as a sensor.
I am looking at the board and I am wondering about adding a BMP280, It might not work well in a air/water sealed box. Also a second mosfet to control a Motoring Light?
I am using a 4" round plastic ip67 electrical box with the anchor light fixed to the lid. It fits my masthead. I need to decided about the connectors though the box. I need 1 2pin for 12v and 1 4pin for the Davis. Ideas?
I am heading out to the boat today to get my autopilot so I can test the Pypilot Motor controller.
I just received a Nextion display, I am thinking it might be a good client for Pypilot.
