no motor controller. but blinking

[gildas declercq]

Hi all

on rpi 4. with pypilot hat and motor controller from Sean.

I already a couple of install, but I may have miss something on this one

after reading posts. 
this is what I see after running pypilot_servo
       

on the motor controller, a red led is fixed, and close to it a green led is blinking rapidly, then stop, and again.

on http://openplotter.local:8000/
I have "no motor controller" .

any idea on what and where to look for ??

thanks a lot
Gildas

maybe the pi can talk to the motor controller but the controller is not talking back?

there are usually 4 leds on the controller, power, tx, rx, and L the actual colors may vary but are usually red, green, yellow, blue

can you determine of both tx and rx flash or only the rx?


did you ever get this hardware working before?

Hi Sean

sorry for my (very) late reply, I may have miss the notification.

error was due to incompatibility with other hat.

I decided to go with one RPI for autopilot, just 1 GPS mouse on USB connected so the pylot can work on its own.

another pi is used to connect to seatalk NG and other stuff.

" 4 leds on the controller, power, tx, rx, and L "

what is "L" ?
