Hi Ironman!
I have read through the Workbook that you wrote. In Step #14 you describe the Pypilot motor controller that I bought at Sean's Web store (see photo attached).
From my modest understanding, I gather that I should attach 12V to 2 wires which says "Motor". Or, is it the motor that is to be attached there?
Next to this white wire, there is another thick white wire, with 3 small wires coming out of it: red, yellow, and black. This says "End stops" on the motor controller. What do I do about them?
Next is another thick white color wire coming out of the motor controller. In the photo, it has a red tape at the beginning of it. There are 4 wires coming out of it, going to Raspberry hat that I purchased. I suppose they are 1) VCC, 2) GND, 3) Rx, 4)Tx wires which you describe in your workbook, Step #14.
In addition, there is a black colored thick wire coming out of the Motor controller. In the controller, it says "Rudder". What do I do about these 3 wires?
In addition, Sean mailed me a thick white wire that has something that looks like a temperature sensor attached to it. I suppose it should go on top of the motor controlling the rudder. Is that right? Where is it to be attached (2 wires, red and black)?
"Final" question: I bought a windshield wiper motor, as suggested by Sean. I see that there are 4 places where I can attach wires (see photo). How is this thing to be controlled by the Motor controller?
thanks for reply,
Gennady
