Sorry, Larry-I did hesitate a bit before posting that in view of your
electrical expertise.


I think this is a different "Larry" than our regular poster from Charleston
SC.

Larry (#2), it would help avoid confusion if you added an initial or
something to you posting name.

Actually, Roger, I'm a retired electrical engineer so I do have a bit of
a background in electronics.

The autopilot I used had no sensor for speed. Does any? It would seem
to me that there needs to be one because response to the wheel is
proportional to your speed underway.
