Its a miracle - splimp - 2021-09-26 Sooo - After many months of fiddling around with Openplotter/Pypilot, various motor controllers, lots of cheap but bad IMU's, finally - A working autopilot, that receives and follows a course from OpenCPN. Still on the wishlist is a simple UPS/ battery backup so the RPI doesn't lose power when I crank the engine, and I still cant get the Pypilot OpenCPN plugin to work whatever i do but minor stuff. Such a nice evening to not have to steer the old Bayliner: https://youtu.be/mLCbrvlmCdo - Thanks to all of you that pointed me in the right direction (no pun intended) RE: Its a miracle - seandepagnier - 2021-09-27 If you ask in the pypilot forum you will get faster response usually... Just post the pypilot version and pypilot opencpn plugin version. It is most likely a difference that is the issue. RE: Its a miracle - aardvarkash10 - 2021-11-07 A little late to this, but this is the unit I am using as UPS on my Openplotter build. Has built in BMS, just add 3 batteries and wire it up. Add a diode in the live supply from the boat to stop backfeeding into the boat's electrical system. Depending in the batteries you use, you will get 6 to 10 hours of run time. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000648416374.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.4a974c4dEJhoKm RE: Its a miracle - T3chfr3ak72! - 2021-11-09 lol I'm happy to see you got the help you needed.
