About the display , if I won’t success in using my various displays, I ‘ll eventually buy a Jlx12864 one or go ahead using an esp32 ( I have a lot in my store) . As said, however, I have to work extensively to understand how and if my hardware/software system that includes an Arduino Uno driving a brushed 12 V motor trough a PWM DIR 20A motor driver , could operate as a valid autopilot. I hope in your kind assistance if I would have to face unsolvable troubles.
Best regards

Just a trick for me. I don't know if , trying to implement the keypad function for pypilot control through OpenCpn or OpenPlotter , it is necessary to install a LCD display Nokia or Jlx12864, too. I tried to do one key switch working through one of the the GPIO contacts listed in GPIO.py and page,py and with no LCD installed, but nothing happened . The pypilot motor however is engaged and works.
Any help?
Many thanks
Francesco
