Dear Walter,

Thanks for the the advice, I will try it something like this...

The Latch can be mechanically adjusted to open only on the "Left" limit.

Servo "Right" position - Autopilot On, Latch Close
Servo Center position - Autopilot Off, Latch Close
Servo "Left" position - Autopilot OFF, Latch Open

I have not build the Autopilot yet, but I suppose it will activate at =
one of the limits - either "left" or "right"

  Hello Francois,

  You might be able to use your bait channel, depending on how you use =
it. If you were interested in operating it using remote control, then, =
once the bait is dropped, have it go to autopilot. You would just need =
to "Y" the  servo lead from the receiver to the rcap, and also to the =
servo.=20

  I have not tried this, but can't see why it would not work. This would =
be without any modifications to the current design.

    I am planning to build the RCap to navigate a bait boat back to the =
launching spot after the bait have been dropped.

    I do not have a spare channel on the receiver and want to activate =
the autopilot via a microswitch (which gets activated by the servo that =
controls the bait latch).=20
    (The bout have a three channel radio -rudder, motor and latch)

    I am fimiliar with pic's but not with the high level languages like =
C, Basic etc.

    What I need is to change the part of the program where it reads the =
receiver pulses to activete or deactivet the autopilot.It must instead =
only read a high or low on one of the PIC's I/O pins to activate or =
deactivate the autopilot. Or even an extra extra statement with a OR =
command?
    {eg. Autopilot activated by Microswitch OR ReceiverInput}=20


    Have someone try this before?

    Regards

    Francois
