Motor spins at startup and pypilot plugin not working properly
#10
Hi,

the last days I started to build up a pypilot-system.

I use a Raspberry pi3b+ as a chartplotter, running opencpn 5.2.4 on it (not openplotter) with Buster as OS.
I bought a Raspberry Zero for running tinypilot (the beta Image 11.10.2020) on it and connected it with an IMU.
I also decided to start with the modified Motor.ino and an IBT_2 Bridge.

So since yet I got the pypilot on the Zero to run.
I got the Code on the Arduino and I connected the Pi3b+, the Zero and the Arduino together.


In OpenCPN then I installed the pypilotplugin (vers. 0.22.xx).

In the Settings of the Plugin I entered the networkadress of the Zero and in the Settings of OC I set a new TCP Connection to the Zero.

So with this all come together and "speak" together.

I have the same effect, that sometimes I don´t see the gain-settings in the OC-Plugin. Sometimes they are visible, sometimes not. Mostley after I restarted the Plugin and / or I restarted OC then they comes back.  
When they are invisble it´s possible to set the gains over the web gui.
When they are back, the changes made in the webgui are shown, so this way works.

I´ll investigate this deeper (the starter to make the gainseetings invisible) when I have finished my setup.

Regards

Andreas
