However I'm unsure what spec is best. My boat is a 4.35m dingy with a 30hp outboard. It's top speed is about 25 knots. This is very different to the other boats I have seen PyPilot implemented on.
Which option for speed and torque do you think is best?
70 mm/s 200N?
45 mm/s 400N?
I will of course post results when I get this working. Will be interesting to see how PyPilot handles a reasonably fast dingy.
I have pypilot connected to an electric hydraulic pump which steers my 200 hp outboard. Works great at speed but only in calm water, in rough water there is too much saturation and pypilot fails with a hard right turn.... so be careful!
