Finally did a real test of tinypilot.
Used opencpn 5.0.0 bionic packages on debian buster 64 bit.
pypilot plugin 0.5.0
Set gains to recommended initial settings.
Initially sort of worked, but gains clearly too low as it was OK being as much as 10 degrees off course.
Had trouble setting gains in opencpn as gains only came up the first time and after that showed just one control. Have photo if needed.
I raised the P and D on tinypilot using ir remote.
Started to work much better left but it was hard to tell what it was setting it to.
Gains needs more tweaking.
Probably a bit more gain.
Next problem is in opencpn plugin the 3 port controls all read 429496 and do not work properly. The 3 starboard 1, 10, 110 work properly.
In Standby the buttons turned in the wrong direction.
In AP active mode direction is correct.
Can the web interface only be used on one device at a time?
Had it on notebook and it would not work on phone.
It works on phone now at home.
After test at home built new opencpn pypilot plugin from the get repository.
By the way the path in git clone git://github.com/seandepagnier/pypilot_pi.git
is wrong.
Now the gain setting dialog comes up every time :-)
The Port turn buttons are still reading 429496.
Will have to put on boat to see what it does in standby.
In gps mode can the turn buttons be used to change course to dodge something?
If so what so you to to get back on course?
