does limit switch need 2 wires each?
What would be a good chose for a hall effect switch? pull up? or pull down?
I was thinking of putting a magnet on my main gear and counting rotations. So i could know the absolute position of the screw. Polarity could be used to determine direction or 2 magnets. The main gear rotates 16 times/inch of travel.
A pot would be nice as it would retain its value but pain to build.
I want to make a decision soon so I can order parts and the M/F plug for the MarinePilot 1600.
Any Ideas on a client i could mount in the MarinePilot screen/buttons. I have a Nextion screen that would fit and a esp8266 nodemcu board and a few nanos in my bin.
I would like to be able to steer course then turn on the marinepilot have it move the actuator to the appropriate position to connect to tiller then enable autopilot.
To disengage i want to disengage autopilot remove from tiller, park actuator then power off.
