I'm making some progress now. The cable colours are different in the two parts of the serial cable so it really confuses me. I switched the tx and rx cables and now I see some blinking LEDs. But still no great success with the overall functioning. I am using a breadboard for connections whick might be a bad idea, so now I will do some soldering. I will get back later with more updates.

My motor controller functions as an arduino.
I am wondering quite a bit over the correct way to set up things in Serial and PyPilot in Openplotter. Port numbers 20220, 38400 and 4800 are being mentioned in the terminal output, but I have no idea how to set to any of these port. Also, I am asked to assign the alias to either NMEA2000, NMEA0183 or SignalK. What is this about? Now I have NMEA0183 since it was the only one that would allow adding to Pypilot being pressed.
