Rudderfeedback Sensor Robertson/Simrad RF300

two arguments against that:

first: Modyfing motor.ino is  far above my actual knowlege, I´m happy beeng able to select and modifiy the options it gives to us.
second: I would have to modyfy every future update you make, so I better leave it as it is.

Reconsidering I guess a 10 bit resolution is good inough for the PWM of the voltage. This will give an accuranciey of better then 
a 10th of degree of rudder possition movement ......

So I will not use the MCP4826 and instead use the TimerOne library and an set analogReference(EXTERNAL) to have the correct
Voltage refererence
