Hello!
I am trying to set up openplotter with pypilot and ST4000 wheel helm motor for my boat on my table.
Everything working fine and i am really encouraged by this project, but i don't understand strange reaction of pypilot to heading change
i recorded the video to explain my thought.

I am using OPENCPN plugin. IMU calibrated and pointed to heading correctly.
When autopilot not in engaged mode i am pushing the buttons (left and right) and the motor move wheel respecfully (left button -> CCW, right button ->CW)
but if i engaging autopilot and move IMU to simulate the boat change course CCW, autopilot move motor CCW also (i suppose it is should move motor to CW to compenate offset and return to course, right?) and vise versa.
Could you please tell me , what i am doing wrong or i have missed something?
I am trying to setup autopilot on home table as much as possible, before i will able to set in and try on my boat.
sorry for bad english.
