Cockpit button control?
#1
My nav station is below and I would prefer not to have a phone in the cockpit to control PyPilot.  What I would like are three waterproof momentary buttons in the cockpit:

Standby, Port, Starboard.

Short press for 2 degrees, long press for 10 degrees and very long press to tack.

When standby on, press moves linear actuator.

My thought is a small Arduino to take button input and send to RPi via USB cable.

I know I could have cable to the nav station RPi, but one USB cable seems cleaner.

Comments?  I see it as a winter project.
