pypilot Set-up newbie

[richarddaneel]

You need to determine how your gps data will work which is up to you.

For example, you could set the gps up using gpsd.   This will automatically be detected by pypilot, and pypilot can then output signalk to signalk server.

You could instead have the signalk-node server directly receive from the gps, in which case pypilot should autodetect signalk and receive gps this way.   So I am not sure what is going wrong but you may need to inspect the debugging log output of pypilot.

Hi Sean
 As you can see in the picture I have, despite my age and stupidity, made some progress. You were right I did not configure the port entries correctly. However, as you can see I get a sync overcurrent_fault. I have no sensors attached but have adapted the motor.ino code . I deleted the "//" before define for the following. I was told this should get rid of the fault. Thanks for your input so far, much appreciated.
