Can't access slew settings
#18
Hi Sean, the backwards controls in wind mode are a crucial safety issue. The "right" button should always turn the boat to the right (starboard) by one degree, no matter what mode the pilot is in. The helmsman doesn't have time and may not remember to check what mode it is in every time they change course, or they might not be able to see the screen.

The pilot should always calculate which way to adjust the wind angle in order that the function of the buttons consistently turns the boat port (left or down button) and starboard (right or up button).

If the behaviour of the buttons is inconsistent then sooner or later it will cause a collision or a boat to run into rocks due to altering course in the opposite direction to what the user thought it would.

I don't want to lose the ability to adjust slew settings via the web interface it important that I can tune those once we are sailing.

Is there any way to fix the compass calibration in the web interface by patching the version I've got, over SSH? It's a really big job to take everything apart again and get the SSD card out because the pilot is built in next to the helm and I have to take a load of interior trim off to get to it.
