Motor controller

[seandepagnier]

the pypilot motor controller uses a microprocessor. This is essentially an arduino nano and was done for several reasons. I recommend studying the schematic for the pypilot motor controller and use a $3 arduino nano clone to drive your controller.

So you cannot easily wire this generic controller to the pi zero pins, however it is possible if you hack pypilot. I don't recommend doing this because the performance is bad, there is no feedback and no protection for the pi.
