Setup Pypilot motor controller with MacArthur HAT

[braydengirard]

I have the same setup but I used:

Pypilot TX Blue     > Pi5 RX GPIO1, Pin 28
Pypilot RX Green  > Pi5 TX GPIO0, Pin 27
Pypilot GND Black > Pi5 Pin 6
Pypilot Vcc Red    > Pi5 Pin 1

This uses UART1

This way I can use the Maiana

I will have the Motor controller 3mts away from the Pi5, near the motor, so I will run 4 core to the Pi5. You need 12v to the motor controller Power +ve & -ve.

The Motor A & B go to your motor.

The clutch of your drive must be connected between the +12V and the clutch output of the controller board, terminals side by side.
The clutch output is "Clutch -" and "Power +" so the clutch output is like a switch to "Power -" when engaged. +ve should go to +12v power source and -ve should go to -clutch terminal on board.

How did you go about connecting to those pins? Any pictures  ! 

Thanks for the info. 

Still interested though how one would connect to the RJ45 port with the blue and green wires...
