OpenMarine

Hey Sean, I read a lot about PyPilot hardware. However, I feel it ultimately is the software that will make the difference. Do you have a description of the features? I am not a programmer so please do not refer me to the source code ...

Does it learn itself? How does it deal with waves and swell? Stuff like that. Is there anywhere you could refer me to?

There is not yet machine learning but there are a lot of parameters to tune for different sea states. Check out the wiki: http://pypilot.org/wiki/doku.php. Ask questions if something is not clear.
