Autopilot Errors: no motor controller!
#19

Check ~/.pypilot/pypilot_client.conf to be sure the web interface isn't going to the wrong place.

Are you running the full autopilot?  Can pypilot_client connect from command line?

Those things seem to be OK. pypilot_client gives a long list of parameters, then back to the command prompt.

I followed the instructions for upgrading to the current version of pypilot, in Ironman's workbook, and ran "sudo python3 setup.py install".That made the OpenCPN interface work. The adversary effect was that I can't connect to the browser interface at all; the page doesn't even load in the browser.

So to summarize, I have the motor controller working(!), and access to the ordinary user interface and the Open CPN interface. I would like to get the browser interface working but now I am also looking to check operation with my tiller pilot actuator. I have a second-hand Raymarine Q047, the type that is used with their EV-100 system. I should order a cockpit connector/ socket for it, but for lab testing I might just use some crocodile clips.
