HDS Track Follower update
Been caged in because of weather, so I am working on my HDS track follower.
The black box is the Ipilot/foot pedal transfer box. I will now be able to select 3 inputs for the Minn Kota V2.
1. Ipilot
2. foot pedal
3. HDS track follow
This box receives only NMEA 0183 track data from the HDS8 and sends directional signals to the TM.

Nothing but a Plano watertight tackle box

This black box interfaces the Ipilot, the foot pedal and the HDS to the MinnKota TM. I sectioned the box off, one side for the circuit, the other for the switches. I will seal the circuit side with electrical resin epoxy. I sealed the divider with liquid tape so the epoxy will not leak into the switch side of the box. I didn't seal the switches because they are a high failure rate item.
