Thread: ***v2 Autopilot Remote Update***

Here is the remote I built for the V2 AutoPilot. This remote works exactly like the foot control and has the same number of switches. I had to put it in this bigger box so that I could get the switches in there. And I really like the two rocker switches as oppose to the pushbuttons(thats just me).

Looks like a Radio Shack hobby box.. I like the rockers better myself.....

Looks like a real neat deal--had that type TM several years ago --sure would have liked your deal better

Exactly...3.69 I think for the project box. And I agree with the rockers.I just about cut the left/right hole to big but it worked and its mine so no big deal.

You use my drawing or did you already have one? If so, was or is my 100% ? If so give me some feedback if you would. I will make adjustments.

Ps...

The hole ain't too big, the bezel is too little....ha

How much to make another for a terrova? That is sweet. I have been putting my foot control in my lap during high winds and works well, but this would be much better. Is that the autopilot switch on the side? Great job!

I did start with the schematic you posted but after looking at it good i found I had to change it. Because it looks to me like that schematic is for the remote that the guy from Cochran builds. The left and right is the same (of course) but then there is an on/off and a push button for high. The push button takes the variable resistor completely out and is all the way high. On mine whether I have it in con. or mom. I still have speed control. Or atleast thats the way I interpret yours. I will try to post my schematic tomorrow because it is at work. Thanks for the help!!!!!!!:D:D:D

Just messing around with them right now...haven't even tried it on the water just plugged it in to make sure it does what I wanted it to do. The switch on the side is the same switch as the button on the foot pedal when you have it in mom. and just want the motor to come on for a second or two at whatever the speed it is set to.
