Autopilot working again!

After 12hrs of multimeter hell we got the autopilot functioning again! We have a duel linear drive system. One of the clutches on one of the drives is having some kind of issue and preventing the clutch on the other ram from engaging as well. After getting rid of the problematic drive unit the other came to life with no issues. It’s a good system with lots of redundancy but the entire system could be rewired for a more use friendly experience, rather than one ram is bad and just having to guess and check

Beautiful sunset followed by immediate autopilot failure

Had excellent conditions out of Tonga but sad to report out autopilot said not tonight. If anybody is an electrical wizard and knows anything about a NAC 3 computer not engaging clutches HIT ME UP
