Hi!
I use the Pypilot to control a pendulum rudder system, which then moves the ship's rudder.
The whole thing runs on a geared motor and has no rudder position sensor.
Basically the hardware works, but there are still a few tuning problems.
The positioning time of the system is quite short (approx. 3-4 seconds on BB to SB).
Do not adjust the rudder very sensitively.
In my opinion, the steering impulses should be much shorter in order to be able to steer more precisely.
I still have a few problems understanding the necessary adjustments.
What means e.g:
servo.gain.
servo.max_slew_slow
servo.max_slew_speed
servo.period
servo.speed
servo.speed.max
servo.speed.min
servo.speed.gain
Does anyone perhaps have experience with such a combination?
