Sorry I am away from home and won’t be able to check before Septembre the 10th. I installed pypilot from open plotter a few days ago, though, so it should be fairly recent.

OK, my version is 0.36 .. this is what is being distrubted with OpenPlotter ... standard openplotter install.
Turning on "enable autopilot" I am now seeing messages in the bottom left corner and also managed an accel config. Still on the mooring (which is why I have internet) but can already see a better looking cal circle beginning to form for the compass cal, I'll report back what it does when we sail a circle after leaving the mooring.

And yes, it is now calibrated. It seems strange that OpenPlotter ships with an old buggy version. I did look through the PyPilot GitHub, but the only version tag I can see is for V0.9 so maybe later versions are not on GitHub?

Just a ping to see if there is any update on this ... I brought the plotter home as the boat is out of the water, but entering "pip install pypilot" just says the current version (0.36) is up to date ... it might be a bug in the openplotter pypilot app as well, but again, I did a apt-get update and upgrade and it has not improved ... what else should I do?

I can fell your pain from far away but I've never seen this. I do have been in desparate situations before with all kinds of software. So to crack up the box of options for you:
- have you tried to reinstall everything from scratch? Keep the old sd card, use a new one, if you are afraid to lose stuff.
- you might try to skip openplotter-pypilot altogether and install pypilot from git. That's what I always do. Openplotter-pypilot is an extra layer laid over top of pypilot, multiplying complications. Nothing wrong about it, but try to get the simplest solution working first before complicating it is a strategy I always use.
- take the machine from the boat and have it at home. You cannot expect answers within the timeframe you are on the boat, and this might require some quick over-and-forth dueling banjos to crack.
Take care, keep heart, never give up.
