So, I have an Authelm/Raymarine "100" series autopilot with the ST6000 control head. As I am installing OpenPlotter it might make sense to consider Pypilot ...
How good is Pypilot?
Is it comparable to a modern autopilot?
Will it "scull" large waves like modern autopilots will or is it just basic "try to maintain a heading"??
What about clutch control? my actuator has a clutch and a motor input, will Pypilot support this?
I guess it will be better running down wind than my current autopilot, which tends to "wander off" in a following sea, does Pypilot use the gyros to help with this or do the gyros just stabilise the compass readings (kalman filter)?
