Hi there,
I am looking for a motor controller for my Raymarine Type 1 linear drive. I read in a forum (https://forum.raymarine.com/showthread.php?tid=6773) that it consumes a max. current output of 15A (stall). In the pypilot store, I found that both options "high power controller" and "mid power controller" fit my case, so I'm trying to decide which one to aim.
As long as the "mid power controller" is out of stock, would it be OK if I install the high power one, although it will overpass type 1 needs? Also, I read the sentence in the high power controller: "This controller can directly connect to the pins of the raspberry pi (no additional arduino required)", which would simplify the system.
Shall I get the high power motor controller?
Thank you,
Sully
