I have uploaded Sean's MotorController Arduino Sketch to an Arduino Uno. I then connected:
Arduino <-> RPi (4)
TX - 10 (RX)
RX - 8 (TX)
GND - GND
5V - 5V
The LED on Pin 13 of the Arduino blinks so I assume the sketch is running OK but in OpenPlotter / PyPilot I get "no motor controller!" and when I enable the AP in PyPilot - the LED does not come on static (which I believe should happen when the AP engages)
I don't have a CPC5001 optical isolator so they are connected directly.
Also: I have not configured a "Autopilot serial device" as that only lists USB devices and I am using the GPIO pins.
What could be wrong?
