The Pypilot controller is not NMEA, it is UART and will only work correctly connected to Raspberry UART interfaces. I think your system is only working in one direction right now.
When we designed the MacArthur HAT, we thought that the pypilot controller would be fine to connect directly to the unused Raspberry UART interfaces via the GPIO header, but the pins are too short so we will have to find a solution.
Ok so if I understand correctly it should be connected blue data wire to pin 8 (GPIO14) and green data wire pin 10 (GPIO15) and then still red and black wires to the 3v and gnd of 1 wire port? or are there spots on the GPIO header for the power and ground as well?
If this is the proper way but the pins are too short how would you recommend I connect my motor controller to the setup? Is some sort of serial adapter to USB an option? If so what would you recommend? I have a long trip coming up and need to make sure I can get this working!
Appreciate all the support
