My Pypilot setup stopped working about a week ago. It is a off the shelf setup with pypilot, motor controller, Davis wind instruments and sensor box, and rudder sender. It worked great until about 2 weeks ago. Wish I could tell you what I did before it quit. I checked the motor and it works perfect directly connected to 12v both ways. The pilot and Esther box boot perfect. I can control it with opencpn overwifi,I can control it with wireless remote, I can controller with its web page, but it won’t drive the motor. The motor is a Benmar and it worked before with it. And works direct from 12v again. I’m 1/2 way down the California coast headed to MX. I also have a spare motor controller box. It makes a fast beeping noise, and do the leds in the boxes give any fault codes or anything?Any help would be appreciated. This might help. Its coming up with an error message. " SYNC_MAX_RUDDER_FAULT". It also moves the motor slightly when you engage the drive the first time after you boot PyPilot.
Thanks guys
