ESC/Motor controller for pypilot - Reggy - 2022-07-21

could i use a pololu Jrk G2 18v19 USB Motor Controller with Feedback  > pololu JRK G2

with pypilot on a rpi4 ?
when reading up on he pypilot and motor controlling i see Arduino being mentioned, is the arduino needed or would a pololu controller/rpi/imu be enough ?


my 33ft aqua star has an old Robertson AP, the control unit is shot, but i think the electric hydraulic pump unit is ok.

thanks in advanced
Reggy

you would need an arduino as well
