Manual motor movements working - no action when engaged?
#1
Hi, and a big thanks, Sean, for making pypilot.

From the web interface, or from the pypilot_control app, in disengaged mode, I can push the buttons (web interface) or use the slider (control app) and the motor moves as expected. 

However, when I engage the autopilot, and either request a new course + 20 degrees, or turn the IMU, then no motor action happens. 

I've just completed a build, running tinypilot, and having flashed the Arduino, connected a motor controller (IBT-2 method, D2 D3 to INA INB, D9 to EN pins), connected a serial GPS, and all of that seems to be working. The heading values seem to make sense, when looking at them in the scope they seem consistent as well. At the moment I am testing things on my lab bench.

Am I missing an important step?

Thanks for any suggestions.
