Potentiometer to control Linear Actuator, auxiliary motor
#9
Can anyone advise me on if I can connect the linear potentiometer to two devices? Say by simply creating a splice, one set of wires could go to my Motor Controller for rudder feed back and the other set would go to the Arduino that is controlling the linear actuator? Is there any danger of degrading the signal, maybe I need to isolate one device from the other?

Or... is it possible to send the data to signalk and have both devices use the data, does tinypilot look to the nmea network or signalk data for installed rudder feedback or is it required this it is attached directly to the motor controller?
