alpha tinypilot image
#1
I have rewritten large portions of pypilot since december (the last stable release) and finally have a tinypilot image to share.

I do not suggest everyone upgrade because it is not really tested and proven yet, but if you are curious or want to offer testing please give it a shot:
https://pypilot.org/images/tinypilot_23082020.img.xz


The new features include:

  • detect and automatically connect to signalk
  • faster boot time
  • support new improved display with higher resolution and not having problems of nokia5110
  • increase frequency to 20hz from 10hz
  • improved calibration display as well as algorithm
  • support 433mhz RF remotes
  • additional 7 hardware keys are possible on the new pypilot hat
  • backlight can dim
  • can reassign keys, IR remote and RF remote keys to many functions from web interface
  • can support many types of IR remotes without special programming
  • support AP client mode with fixed IP
  • translate in many more languages
  • completely new data interface to reduce data transmission.  This allows certain logic like calibration or eventually machine learning training to run on a remote host if needed
  • support esp32 micropython for display and control
  • everything running on python3 instead of python2
  • improved response to control and improved manual control
  • improved web control for setting gains
  • support additional nmea0183 port on hat (422 galvanic isolated future option)
  • support nmea0183 tcp client connection
I think there are a few more older improvements to the source code as well.   Not everything is extensively tested and so this is not even really a beta image.   expect there to be bugs.   Many features require new hardware this is not widely available yet.   the opencpn plugin will not work without upgrading it too.  You have to upgrade pypilot on openplotter for example if you control a tinypilot from openplotter using those scripts.
