Thank you very much for your interest
We are finishing the software, regarding the configuration of the autopilot by the user.
Shortly we will begin with the tests in a sailboat.
The autopilot we are developing will be able to control both motor and hydraulic actuators.
The user can configure the type of boat and sailboat.
Regarding the sailboats in three categories sail slow turn, sail fast turn and sail multihull.
You can also adjust the Boat Normal Speed.
The autopilot uses a gyrocompass with GPS receiver for the three systems and accelerometers. It will also have the tables of magnetic declination according to position.
At the moment it is too early to compare it with other commercial autopilots, but our wish is that it will be as good or better than existing systems.

I have now a garmin autopilot(2 years old). Hydraulic actuator.
The boat is a 42” KHSD catamaran
Don’t know if it will be up for the task of steering in the south pacific at high speed.(10-20 kn).
The low cost autopilot should be able to use GPS-compass.
Preformance should be equal or bettet than B&G H5000 or nke.
Would this be possible.
