5CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS
Tillerpilot Common PCB Assembly
Introduction. The PCB Assembly is a common item to all Wheelpilots and Tillerpilots. However,
when the PCB is used in the TP10 or WP10 those components concerned with NMEA and
CANBUS data are present but not in use, these components are highlighted in Red on the Circuit
Diagram Drawing No. E03372.
Supply and Regulation. The Tiller Pilots are designed to work from a 12 V source. Protection
against incorrect polarity is provided by D1 and D4. Capacitors C1and C3 are used as reservoirs
to hold up the supply voltage and reduce any supply dips. Protection against over-voltage spikes
is provided by Resistor R2 and Zener Diode ZD1 and Regulator REG1 provides a 5V regulated
supply. Transient Voltage Suppresser TVS1 protects the MOSFET drive transistors, TR10 to
TR13, from voltage spikes greater than +16V.
Microprocessor. Light Emitting Diodes LED1 to LED4 are driven from the microprocessor IC2
Ports P0.0 and P0.2 to P0.4 and turn OFF when the line goes HIGH via the transistor switches
TR2 to TR5. When the transistors are off, resistors R32, R34, R36 and R38 provide a low current
path for the LEDs to provide low level night illumination. The Audio Resonator AR1 is self
resonating and switches ON when Port P0.5 goes HIGH via the transistor switch TR1 and resistors
R59 and R60. The control key lines on Ports P4.0 to P4.4, normally pulled to +5V via resistors R7
to R11, are “scanned” by the microprocessor to detect if any of the switches have been operated
and pulled the line LOW.
NMEA Data In. NMEA data is optically isolated by IC5 and then fed into Port P2.4 of the
microprocessor. Transistors TR6, TR7 and TR8 and components D6, D7, D8, R17, R18 and R19
form a switch, protected from high voltages, driven from Port P0.1 of the microprocessor. The
switch is used to apply the synchronisation pulse (HR200_SYNC) to the NMEA line for products
employing a Hand (Remote) Controller.
CANBUS Data. CANBUS data in and out is driven by IC3 directly to and from Ports P2.1 and P2.0
respectively.
NB. Components shown in RED on the circuit diagram, Drawing No. E03372, are not in circuit
when the PCB is used with WP10 or TP10. The cable loom to connect them is absent from these
products.
Configuration Links. The Links, L1, L2 and L3, are used to configure the Microprocessor
to either Wheelpilot or Tillerpilot operation and to model versions 10, 20 or 30 in
accordance with the table below:

Microprocessor Reset. Integrated Circuit IC6 is an integrated reset generator for the
microprocessor which produces a reset LOW pulse of approximately 50mS duration at switch on
and whenever a 5v supply failure occurs. In addition to the reset provided by IC6, the
microprocessor has a built in watchdog timer which will create a reset if a software crash occurs for
any reason.
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). Integrated Circuit IC3 provides 1Kbit of E
2
memory for the retention
of important data after power down.
Fluxgate (Compass). Two anti-phase signals are provided from microprocessor Ports P1.7 and
P1.6. These signals are buffered by TR15 and TR16 to provide a higher current drive to the
excitation coil of the fluxgate. A reference voltage level of +2 volts is provided by R46 and R53
decoupled by C53. The 2 coils, mounted at right angles, provide output signals proportional to the
sine and cosine of the Earth’s magnetic field. These signals are fed via the electronic switch IC9,
to 2 dual slope integrating analogue to digital converters IC7 and IC 8 plus associated
components. The outputs of the comparator IC7 are fed to the microprocessor Ports P1.4 and
P1.5 which provide input capture facilities. Accurate timing of the conversion is kept by the
microprocessor to provide simultaneous precision analogue to digital conversion of both sine and
cosine signals to avoid errors created by multiplexing the inputs.
Motor Drive. The motor drive signals (MDRIVE_A and MDRIVE_B) are generated from the
microprocessor at Ports P0.7 and P0.6, these lines being LOW when there is no drive and HIGH to
drive. The drive outputs control IC10 and IC11 which are comparators set at threshold levels of
+4V and +1V produced by the resistor network R71, R72 and R73. The comparators invert the
signals and provide the current to switch the MOSFETs in stages which prevents both P and N
channel MOSFETs on the same side of the “H-bridge” configuration, (i.e. TR10 and TR11 or TR12
and TR13), being partially switched on at the same time. When there is no drive, both N-channel
MOSFETs TR11 and TR13 are switched on giving a direct short across the motor to the 0V line
thus providing active braking
EMC. Capacitors with values of 100pF, 100nF and 1nF are extensively used to decouple noise
from switched data lines. Two A.C. coupled connections labelled “CHASSIS” , routed via
capacitors C63 and C64, were provided for interconnection to the internal metalwork for EMC
purposes. Tests have confirmed that connection is not required.
Hall Effect PCB.
Introduction. The Hall Effect PCB is a generic item which can be used for both Tillerpilots TP10,
TP20 and TP30 and Wheelpilots WP10 and WP30. For Tillerpilots, the Hall Effect devices are
mounted vertically into the PCB and horizontally for Wheelpilots. The circuit diagram for the Hall
Effect PCB is given in Drawing No. E03182.
Feedback. Two Hall Effect sensors HE1 and HE2 are mounted on the Hall Effect PCB and sense
the rotation of 2 small bar magnets mounted 180
0
apart in the pulley wheel. This produces a
quadrature feedback output, at logic levels, FB1 and FB2. The PCB is powered from the host unit
+5V regulated supply, the line being filtered by C1, and signals FB1 and FB2 are fed back to the
microprocessor via pull-up resistors on the host unit PCB.

There are a number of variants of Tillerpilots currently in use which, though
similar in appearance, are built and operate differently. Positive identification is
therefore essential when ordering spare parts to ensure that the correct item is
dispatched.
The main aids to identification are:
of a Hall Effect PCB indicates Back emf, earliest, version.
Effect PCB with microprocessor mounted in socket indicates
intermediate version.
Effect PCB with surface mount microprocessor indicates
latest version.
A table of variants identified by serial number and drawings, General Assembly,

Tillerpilot Common PCB Assembly
Introduction. The PCB Assembly is a common item to all Wheelpilots and Tillerpilots. However,
when the PCB is used in the TP10 or WP10 those components concerned with NMEA and
CANBUS data are present but not in use, these components are highlighted in Red on the Circuit
Diagram Drawing No. E03372.
Supply and Regulation. The Tiller Pilots are designed to work from a 12 V source. Protection
against incorrect polarity is provided by D1 and D4. Capacitors C1and C3 are used as reservoirs
to hold up the supply voltage and reduce any supply dips. Protection against over-voltage spikes
is provided by Resistor R2 and Zener Diode ZD1 and Regulator REG1 provides a 5V regulated
supply. Transient Voltage Suppresser TVS1 protects the MOSFET drive transistors, TR10 to
TR13, from voltage spikes greater than +16V.
Microprocessor. Light Emitting Diodes LED1 to LED4 are driven from the microprocessor IC2
Ports P0.0 and P0.2 to P0.4 and turn OFF when the line goes HIGH via the transistor switches
TR2 to TR5. When the transistors are off, resistors R32, R34, R36 and R38 provide a low current
path for the LEDs to provide low level night illumination. The Audio Resonator AR1 is self
resonating and switches ON when Port P0.5 goes HIGH via the transistor switch TR1 and resistors
R59 and R60. The control key lines on Ports P4.0 to P4.4, normally pulled to +5V via resistors R7
to R11, are “scanned” by the microprocessor to detect if any of the switches have been operated
and pulled the line LOW.
NMEA Data In. NMEA data is optically isolated by IC5 and then fed into Port P2.4 of the
microprocessor. Transistors TR6, TR7 and TR8 and components D6, D7, D8, R17, R18 and R19
form a switch, protected from high voltages, driven from Port P0.1 of the microprocessor. The
switch is used to apply the synchronisation pulse (HR200_SYNC) to the NMEA line for products
employing a Hand (Remote) Controller.
CANBUS Data. CANBUS data in and out is driven by IC3 directly to and from Ports P2.1 and P2.0
respectively.
NB. Components shown in RED on the circuit diagram, Drawing No. E03372, are not in circuit
when the PCB is used with WP10 or TP10. The cable loom to connect them is absent from these
products.
Configuration Links. The Links, L1, L2 and L3, are used to configure the Microprocessor
to either Wheelpilot or Tillerpilot operation and to model versions 10, 20 or 30 in
accordance with the table below:

Microprocessor Reset. Integrated Circuit IC6 is an integrated reset generator for the
microprocessor which produces a reset LOW pulse of approximately 50mS duration at switch on
and whenever a 5v supply failure occurs. In addition to the reset provided by IC6, the
microprocessor has a built in watchdog timer which will create a reset if a software crash occurs for
any reason.
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). Integrated Circuit IC3 provides 1Kbit of E
2
memory for the retention
of important data after power down.
Fluxgate (Compass). Two anti-phase signals are provided from microprocessor Ports P1.7 and
P1.6. These signals are buffered by TR15 and TR16 to provide a higher current drive to the
excitation coil of the fluxgate. A reference voltage level of +2 volts is provided by R46 and R53
decoupled by C53. The 2 coils, mounted at right angles, provide output signals proportional to the
sine and cosine of the Earth’s magnetic field. These signals are fed via the electronic switch IC9,
to 2 dual slope integrating analogue to digital converters IC7 and IC 8 plus associated
components. The outputs of the comparator IC7 are fed to the microprocessor Ports P1.4 and
P1.5 which provide input capture facilities. Accurate timing of the conversion is kept by the
microprocessor to provide simultaneous precision analogue to digital conversion of both sine and
cosine signals to avoid errors created by multiplexing the inputs.
Motor Drive. The motor drive signals (MDRIVE_A and MDRIVE_B) are generated from the
microprocessor at Ports P0.7 and P0.6, these lines being LOW when there is no drive and HIGH to
drive. The drive outputs control IC10 and IC11 which are comparators set at threshold levels of
+4V and +1V produced by the resistor network R71, R72 and R73. The comparators invert the
signals and provide the current to switch the MOSFETs in stages which prevents both P and N
channel MOSFETs on the same side of the “H-bridge” configuration, (i.e. TR10 and TR11 or TR12
and TR13), being partially switched on at the same time. When there is no drive, both N-channel
MOSFETs TR11 and TR13 are switched on giving a direct short across the motor to the 0V line
thus providing active braking
EMC. Capacitors with values of 100pF, 100nF and 1nF are extensively used to decouple noise
from switched data lines. Two A.C. coupled connections labelled “CHASSIS” , routed via
capacitors C63 and C64, were provided for interconnection to the internal metalwork for EMC
purposes. Tests have confirmed that connection is not required.
Hall Effect PCB.
Introduction. The Hall Effect PCB is a generic item which can be used for both Tillerpilots TP10,
TP20 and TP30 and Wheelpilots WP10 and WP30. For Tillerpilots, the Hall Effect devices are
mounted vertically into the PCB and horizontally for Wheelpilots. The circuit diagram for the Hall
Effect PCB is given in Drawing No. E03182.
Feedback. Two Hall Effect sensors HE1 and HE2 are mounted on the Hall Effect PCB and sense
the rotation of 2 small bar magnets mounted 180
0
apart in the pulley wheel. This produces a
quadrature feedback output, at logic levels, FB1 and FB2. The PCB is powered from the host unit
+5V regulated supply, the line being filtered by C1, and signals FB1 and FB2 are fed back to the
microprocessor via pull-up resistors on the host unit PCB.

There are a number of variants of Tillerpilots currently in use which, though
similar in appearance, are built and operate differently. Positive identification is
therefore essential when ordering spare parts to ensure that the correct item is
dispatched.
The main aids to identification are:
of a Hall Effect PCB indicates Back emf, earliest, version.
Effect PCB with microprocessor mounted in socket indicates
intermediate version.
Effect PCB with surface mount microprocessor indicates
latest version.
A table of variants identified by serial number and drawings, General Assembly,
PCB Assembly and Circuit Diagram, to aid identification of the different PCBs, is
given below:

:
The 20 Toothed Pulley Part No. E02839 is a push fit onto the motor drive shaft,
see sketch below, and the bonding is enhanced with Loctite 270 Part No.
260025. Instances have occurred where the bonding has weakened resulting in
reduced drive efficiency or operational failure. An improved bonding adhesive
Loctite 638 Part No. 260063 has been identified and approved for use. All
Tillerpilot repairs should be carried out using the new adhesive.
The new bonding agent has been used in the manufacture of all Tillerpilots with
the alphabetic prefix PC, 1 March 1999, and subsequent serial numbers. The
Product Support Department should be informed of any units found to be
slipping post production date 1 March 1999.
