How do I adjust the fixed offset between the tiny pilot compass heading (v0. 12 sw) and the actual boat heading?

The Tinypilot is mounted on the wall of my rear facing chart table so the reported heading is all wrong. 

I installed the Tinypilot with a Jefa linear drive direct to my quadrant. Worked much better than the ST4000 wheel pilot (that is still present) .  Steered like a train on rails in gusty run and broad reach. Great day sailing for the first time in 2 years! 

Thanks
Andrew
The offset correction works well by correcting the offset with the Pypilot OpenCpn plugin.

With the Pypilot web server, there is a bug with the compass offset field which is currently not active to enter the offset.
You should be able to adjust it from the calibration menu, the opencpn plugin, or the pypilot_client. I will check the web interface..

I could not see this option in the Tiny pilot menus or the Web app. I don't have it connected to OpenCPN.

from the main menu, it should be under "calibration" and "heading"

Thanks! I see it now.
