Hello everyone newby here although I've been using pypilot for a few years now. First on the main steering wheel with a 3d printed sprocket and a window wiper motor which was nice in calm waters, but recently added a tiller pilot to the hydrovane controlled by the pypilot which works really well!
I've recently added a wind sensor to my system and now the pypilot crashes every once in a while (tinypilot bought from Sean in 2021) I've tried all different kind of things but it's definitely when it gets the wind information through opencpn. Doesn't matter if it's connected to the raspberry pi or open cpn on a windows machine it gives the same results. So I've decided to give the Tiny pilot a reflash with the latest image. Now it says in the instructions to save your current pypilot.conf file and after a bit of searching I've found it. But the manual doesn't say how to change it or at least get the permissions to do so. I've tried without changing the config file, but then I need to do all the calibrations again including the accelerometer calibration. And another thing the remote also wasn't recognized and I'm guessing these settings are in the hat.conf file? So probably need to change that too I guess?
So how do I change this file? Probably in the terminal, but I'm a bit stuck....
