Hi all,
Getting ready to (finally) deploy pyPilot in its TinyPilot form.
Reading up on the approaches to mounting and calibrating.
I read in the Pypilot Workbook that the only thing that is required is to hit "Boat is Level" when the boat is nice and stable.
Is there anything additional required beyond that? The Workbook continues to explain that Pypilot will recognise the boat turning and tune itself from there. Does that happen automatically and in standby mode?
Another reason I ask, is that I read this in Sean's pypilot.org Wiki and wasn't sure what exactly it was referring to.
The sensors (or box they are mounted in) must be un-mounted so they are not attached to anything. Carefully place the sensors on each of the 6 sides of a box (+- 10 degrees will do) the actual orientation is not critical, so long as enough measurements can be taken to fit a sphere. Leave the sensors in each position for a few seconds.
Any guidance from someone who has already done it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
