Keypad connections
#1
I have updated my tinypilot image using the downloaded images. The pypilot seems to be working ok but the keypad switches are not working. I tried using the original image but it is still not working.  Should pin 6 (keypad select) be connected to ground?
Thanks for your excellent work

the pins should not be grounded, normally open. Connect to ground to trigger a button press.

Thanks
So the process to select Auto would be to ground pin 4 (Auto/stdby) then ground pin 6 (keypad select) ?

the keys can all be reprogrammed to different functions using the web interface provided by the pypilot_hat service. This is normally on port 33333, so http://localhost:33333 or http://192.168.14.1:33333 would be common examples of how to access it.


To engage would not select auto then select. Normally just pressing the auto key would toggle the pilot on and off. The select button usually toggles between modes, such as compass, gps, wind and so on.
