Hi,
I recently aquired an old Autohelm 2000, with the intention of converting it to Pypilot.
However, as can be seen in this picture, it would be optimal if the old controller box could house both the Pi itself with IMU, display, (re-used) buttons and so on, AND the motor controller.
Is this possible, or bound to fail?
I am thinking that perhaps the motor controller needs a significant separation from the IMU due to potential magnetic interference, and that is why they are typically kept in two separate boxes...
Please let me know your thoughts,
Otto
