I would like to know if Pypilot can control a stepper motor?
I would like to connect a motor directly to the head of the self-steering windvane. The head will rotate only about 30 degrees each direction so I am thinking a brushed motor might not be able to increment in that small amount. Or am I wrong about that?
Would adding a pwm control accomplish the same thing? How about setting the gains way down instead? With the paddle removed from the vane there would be very little resistance.
