PyPilot plugin - config seems broken
#1
Both the windows published plugin, but now also the linux source code seem to have an issue with the PyPilot plugin configuration screen, connected to a TinyPilot.

The main thing I want to change is the Max Current.
  • The up and down buttons don't work any more. 
  • Also, when changing it through the SignalK client, the value reverts back upon clicking OK.
In the lab I have a windows client with pypilot plugin, both most recent versions 5.0 downloaded msi's, and here I already could not change the Max Current. I used to do this through a Raspberry / OpenCPN / default plugin, connected to the same TinyPilot. Here I was able change the Max Current. However I recompiled a new plugin from git and now it also does not work on the raspberry anymore, showing simlar symptoms.

The reason I want to change the Max Current so often is because it keeps on doubling up every now and then. I enter 2 Ampere, it suddenly becomes 4 and then 8. I can see there is some background process that could update servo.max_current, but I don't want that functionality: IMHO a manual parameter should not be updated automatically.

Thx for looking into this!
