I have a 12 volt geared motor driving my power steering on a John Deere 5055e. The Pixhawk channel 1 output is going into a JRK12V12 motor controller which is receiving angle sensor input from my AG Leader steering angle sensor. I have consistent…
"Photo of the installation. Brackets were made a fabrication shop nearby. Cost $300. I made the wiring harness with the parts from Mouser mentioned above, but I did not have it on when I took this photo. The arc of travel is about 2500 ticks vs.…"

"Thanks for the guidance. Now I need to find time to try it. "
"Much appreciated. Will give that a go."
I am trying to use an APM 2.6 on a Powerwheels jeep with a linear actuator to control the steering. I am trying to go through the calibration wizard in Mission Planner with the APM disconnected from the Powerwheels jeep. Not doubt you can…
