    Default Joystick boat control


    Joystick control has been around for a while. These are very expensive systems at present. Wiskers is probably familiar with the joysticks. What I am attempting is to make it more affordable for myself. Electrical linear actuators have become much more reliable and are virtually maintenance free. They don't leak hydraulic fluid either. ha

    I really like this docking application.

    That kind of precision control (sideways especially) can only be achieved with dual motors I would assume?
