Wind mode display + tack function
#1
I could test pypilot and so far it is working very well. I am still struggling with fine tuning of the gains.
In wind mode I do not like the 0 to 360° display. Wind mode I usually use when going upwind. I think it would be nicer to have 0 - 180° positive to stb and negative to port to avoid calculating the angle when wind is from port after a tack. Also the course setting should be according the direction the boat shall move.
One feature I am missing is a tack function. As I am sailing single handed very often I liked the tack button with adjustable delay of my old autopilot. Just push the button and time for handling the jib sheet.

Regards,

Kalle
