Hi, I have just received my pypilot motor controller. I cannot find anywhere on how to hook it to my raspberry pi. I have searched, everybody talks about it. Are there any directions as to where all connections go? Thanks

Ok, I see how now how to hook up the 4 small wires, and the motor to the green terminals. Where do the network wires go?

Ok, no I will not be using that.
thanks
Those are for the wind sensor module if you have one

please see:
https://pypilot.org/schematics/hbridge_datasheet.htm
The 4 wires of the controller go to the pins of the pi, 3v3, tx, rx and gnd.

normally yellow and green are TX and RX and should only be flashing while communicating.
