Can't access slew settings

[color=#000000][size=small][font=sans-serif]Hi Sean,

We did our first short passage since the update and had a few issues.

The physical buttons mostly stopped working after the update. I was able to configure the left/right 1 degree, menu and auto buttons through the web interface, but the button I programmed for left turns the boat to starboard and vice versa, so I had to swap them!

I believe I swapped the manual controls because they were backwards before. So maybe left is actually starboard?

With the previous version we noticed that the left/right buttons were reversed in wind mode but correct in compass mode.

They are supposed to be reversed in wind mode because a higher wind angle means going more to port which is the opposite of compass mode.

I can't make the select button work at all -  the button I programmed for "select" just exits the menu without selecting anything, so the LCD menus are unusable.

The select button is optional, it exits the menu or switches the autopilot mode.

The menu button is what is used in the menu

The update seems to have lost the compass calibration and I can't find any way to set the compass offset or calibrate the compass through the web interface. We had difficulty steering with the uncalibrated compass.

Upgrading will lose the calibration and other settings if you don't back up the pypilot.conf and restore it. In the future I'm going to try to store the compass calibration and a few other parameters onto eeprom of the pypilot hat, but the current version doesn't have an eeprom.

Yes, this was an unstable release I pushed it quickly so you should set the slew rates without fully testing. I think I found that calibrating the compass didn't work in this image (I since fixed that)

So I suggest for now you go back to the last stable version, and the motor slew speeds should be set at least.
