Autopilot with pypilot and openplotter - donpimpon - 2022-06-23
Hello everyone!
I want to install an autopilot with open plotter and pypilot, but I need a little help.
I've got...
raspberry pi4
open plotter
GPS
ais
motorized arm
simple relay with remote control, of these garage door.
Can I just connect it to the gpio of the raspberry and configure it with pypilot simply?
I need something more?
Thank you very much for your time

You are short of an Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) and a motor controller. Check out here for an introduction https://github.com/pypilot/workbook/wiki/The-hardware-component. You can build them yourself if you are into electronics, but for you I suggest buying them off the pypilot store (pypilot.org).
