Dear Sean / Ironman.
Thank you for your extremely constructive an patient guidance throughout my trouble shooting in this case. I'm heading offshore (Bergen-Shetland) in 10 days, and I really wanted to have the wind mode ready for this passage.
The issue, as Sean already pointed out, was due to the mast height parameter was set to 15 (m?), instead of the default zero value. (turns out, Pypilot wasn't ment for sailboats, after all... :-)) -> causing a bug in the python code.
The bug caused pypilot to fail during initialization when using the nmea0183 connection. This also gave some meaningful debugable output (which probably was where Sean spotted the issue).
The signalk zeroconf service appeared to work, and gave no indication about the issue, but the wind data was not available for controlling pypilot.
When setting the mast height back to zero, my Pypilot is now fully operational in both modes (nmea0183 connection as well as the zeroconf service).
Thanks again, guys. Great work.
