So today I received my pypilot motor controller and tried to set it up using this tutorial: https://github.com/pypilot/workbook/wiki...Controller
Connected the controller to 12V supply, ok
But when I tried to connect to the Rpi UART0, i see that it's already used by MAIANA. Acording to MacArthur HAT docs, UART3 and UART5 are also used (or can be used) by NMEA0183 connections.
So I tried to enable UART4 which aparently use GPIO 8 (CE0_N) and 9 (MISO). By doing so, i see that a new device appears as "ttyAMA1", but when I change the Pypilot app to "Enable autopilot" instead of "IMU only", i get the warning saying "The device /dev/ttyAMA0 in UART0 should be added to the list of serial ports pypilot manages":
But even if I add an alias to ttyAMA1, and go to Pypilot Serial settings and add that device, the same message stays there
I have no idea what i'm doing wrong or how can I start to diagnose, any help will be much appreciated
