I am using the wheel drive from an Autohelm 4000. There is a little lever to engage and disengage the motor for hand steering. It merely snugs up or loosens the belt. I assume that the old autopilot never knew where the rudder was except when at the stop from feedback from the straining motor. There is no sensor or end switches.
If I calibrate the rudder in pypilot, and then disengage to hand steer and then reengage, the autopilot won't be aware of where it is anyway, right?
