I have a vintage Cetec Benmar 21r Coursesetter with a direct drive motor on my Fast Passage 39. The control head appears to be coroded and not working. I am contemplating sending it back and having them go through it. The direct drive motor seems to be in good working shape.
Instead of sending back and getting wrapped around that axle, I am considering putting together a pypilot solution.
From what I am gathering, I will need:
1. Rpi4
2. TinyPilot Hat
3. Pypilot motor controller
The -> Plug hat into Rpi4, install tinypilot or pypilot?, plugin motor controller, configure, run wires to motor & calibrate.
What am I missing?
Has anyone married up pypilot motor controller with a Cetec Benmar direct drive motor? From my understanding, the direct drive motor is super simple (two wire) motor - but I need to verify.
I am looking for for any feedback or recommendations.
Thanks,
Lewis
