Hi Sean,
thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate your work for open source projects like OCPN, OP and Pypilot and a big thank you for that.
I am using the arduino motor.ino sketch output digital pin 9 to pololu RC input. After some try and error that connection seems to work fine. Pololu has its own software for configuring their controllers.
At the moment I do not measure volts current or temp even it would be nice to see autopilot power consumption.
In case of having an hydraulic steering the problem is to stop the pump at the end points. So I need rudder-feedback. I think on Scope servo.rudder_pos should be the measured rudder position (in my case always 0). I tried to understand your pypilot code but my programming skills are limited to only a little bit arduino-code. Using end-switches or with a simple (for a programmer I think ugly) change in motor.ino I can manage it but that will not help the project.
The bug is in OCPN-plugin not pypilot but anyway not serious.
