[CA] [CA11] Follow-On Tiller Installation and Setup

RE: [CA11] Follow-On Tiller Installation and Setup
Hi Chuck,

Here's an update. Short story, everything is working...

I installed a new rudder reference sensor. It still does not show up in the list of autopilot system components on the ES128 display or the p70RS control head. But I now see the "Power Steer" option in Drive Settings and I am seeing the rudder position in the position bar at the top of the display for the first time.

An important note: for the new rudder sensor to work, a system reset on the p70RS was required. Initially, without the reset, it did not work and I was extremely discouraged. But I read a couple more posts in this forum about rudder sensor issues and found the reset suggestion.

I completed the configuration settings, as you indicated, and the follow on tiller now engages the autopilot and provides remote steering as intended. Without operational instructions I'm learning by trial and error but so far I'm very satisfied and relieved to have it working.

Thanks for your help.
