Hello everyone, I am an old sailor, but a beginner with Pypilot. I installed Openplotter on a Raspi4, it works fine, as well as OpenCpn. I'm now trying to setup Pypilot, with an Arduino Nano and MPU 9250, I haven't gotten to the motor control stage yet, I've connected LEDs instead, it seems to work, the LEDs react as I orient the MPU or when I give heading instructions to Pypilot. My problem is that I can't control with a wired keyboard, the buttons connected to GPIO 17, 27 or 22, or 5 and 6 have no action. On my small boat, it would be essential to have a wired control that would be easily accessible. I have read testimonials from people who have been able to connect Pypilot with a wired keyboard, I would like to do the same, but I must be doing some manipulations wrong. If someone could help me, knowing that I am bad in electronics and computers ! A huge thank you to Sean for his sharing and his work made available to all. Sincerely, Lucian.
