Thanks Sean,
I think the wiring polarity is OK. When I click the starboard arrow it moves starboard. I did the calibration by turning the wheel manually and it was definitely in the same direction as the button I clicked. Yes I was using the web interface on the tinypilot.
I never saw MIN_RUDDER or MAX_RUDDER display even after I had set calibration with the web interface.
Having managed to install the Opencpn plugin in the old OpenCPN 4.6 I found on my Macbook, I find that all the settings on the pypilot have reverted to defaults! I previously checked that my changed settings persisted after a reboot so this is rather strange. Now the reverted settings persist after a reboot. Could the OpenCPN plugin have set everything back to defaults? slew is now back at 18 and the rudder limit boxes in openCPN are empty.
I can't see any rudder calibration buttons in the opencpn plugin, do I have to enter the values manually?
As it's late here I can't do the calibration again now but I will have another go soon using the plugin and report back.
EDIT: And the software version is the one you installed when you built it a few weeks ago, am I missing any recent fixes?
