CapnKernel and all the rest.... THANK YOU!!!
I already use the IBT-2 for my ST4000 Autohelm tiller, I only needed to select PWM style = 2 ( I think it was 2) and then it just worked fine. There was some high pitch noise with some other tillers, but fixed this with a number of khz settings somewhere in the code.
About the current sense, did not know that the IBT-2 also supports it, great! I have exactly the same board as your link, with the same resistors. I think when I can get this working I'll stick to the IBT-2, it's so easy and it really feels like a robust board with the nice large heatsink.
Do you have any idea of how the current sense can be connected on that board?
I also have some pictures of my set-up, it is far from ideal because it is a metal casing which is absolutely not waterproof and GPS / WiFi signals are low. But, I have started a project which will solve this all.

I just took a mini-itx format PC casing, and lasered the connections on the io shield on the back.
I am now on another version with another type of casing and material, to take it a step further.
But first, I need to get my hydraulic pilot to work! I wish all a great weekend! (I know I'll be soldering probably haha)
Kind regards,
Jamos
