Sorry some changes to ui layout. The "Configuration" window only applies to the plugin and local settings now, where the pypilot settings and calibration can be accessed from "Calibration"
PyPilot plugin - config seems broken

Now we can really play with those parameters and immediately see their effect. Not bombarding you (yet) with the question to explain all those settable parameters at once, here are two small ones:

Usually you don't want to do this, but if you had a 12 volt motor and powered the controller from 24 volts, setting this value to 50% will prevent running the motor too fast. min_speed specifies the minimum speed the motor can run. If set to 100%, then the motor will run at full speed in bursts for typically the servo.period duration. If this value is set lower, then the motor will run at this slower speed unless it needs to move faster. Most drive units, especially ones with a lot of friction are not very efficient at slow speeds. It's better to move at full speed then stop. Quote: Great idea. For now you can use the scope (separate python script "signalk_scope_wx") to plot the servo.current.

Thx for this. Very interesting the scope - to see all gains react to IMU movement.
Few things on the UI changes of the PyPilot_pi:

If the settings screen is empty then, you are using an older pypilot with newer plugin.
The plugin screen shows rudder angle as none or 0.0 I will check the other problems tomorrow.

I upgraded the pypilot and I now have 'Connected to', Alignment calibration working and a Settings screen working! So that was it. It looks nifty Sean, getting better all the time! Thanks for all the work. |
