Your design may be close from the one in Sean's high power controller (which uses 5V ADC reference):
But with this design, there will still be a problem when the rudder feedback sensor is 0 ohm !
I think the drive behaves normally, so no need to be sorry
, it just happens to hit a limitation in the motor controller !
The rudder feedback can still be useful even with end-switches present, because this makes it able to restrict the rudder angle (of course, if you restrict the angle, you will never hit the limitation above because the tiller will not be fully extended ever !).
And it can also be useful as an aid for steering, but I'm not sure if Sean has already implemented this or not.
