Interfacing an old autohelm 1000 seatalk - adrien - 2020-03-29 Hello every body. I am buiding an oppen plotter system to offer some new teck to my old dufour 27. I also own an old autohelm 1000 I was wondering if it is possible to drive the autohelm 1000 with the seatalk interface or if i need to modify the hardware to drive the motor directely with a motor drive to use pypilot. Thanks RE: Interfacing an old autohelm 1000 seatalk - seandepagnier - 2020-04-02 You will need to modify the hardware and drive the motor directly. The seatalk interface is not supported by software so to use it you would have to add a new motor controller driver if it's even possible or would work very well I do not know.
