Pypilot working on my Nicholson 44

[Kris]

You can simply run:

pypilot_client servo.clutch_pwm=50

if pypilot is running

if not running edit ~/.pypilot/pypilot.conf

I have Pypilot 2.1.1-beta. The arduino code is the one on github updated a few days ago.

Editing pypilot.conf there is no variable that resembles servo.clutch_pwm. I only have:

"servo.faults": 26179,

 "servo.max_current": 20.0,
 "servo.current.factor": 1,
 "servo.current.offset": 0,
 "servo.voltage.factor": 1,
 "servo.voltage.offset": 0,
 "servo.max_controller_temp": 60,
 "servo.max_motor_temp": 60,
 "servo.max_slew_speed": 10.236220472440944,
 "servo.max_slew_slow": 8.267716535433072,
 "servo.gain": 1,
 "servo.period": 1.0,
 "servo.compensate_current": false,
 "servo.compensate_voltage": false,
 "servo.amp_hours": 121.23307400571649,
 "servo.speed.min": 25.0,
 "servo.speed.max": 100,
"servo.position.p": 0.15,

 "servo.position.i": 0,
 "servo.position.d": 0.02,
 "servo.use_eeprom": true,
 "servo.disengage_on_timeout": true,

Running pypilot_client servo.clutch_pwm=50 in the Terminal gives me:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Exception: ('invalid message from server:', 'invalid request: set unknown value: servo.clutch_pwm')

Uninstalling and reinstalling Pypilot did not solve the issue.
