There are 4 possible displays for the lcd:
1) nokia5110 on spi
2) jlx12864 on spi
3) framebuffer (you can install many drivers for displays yourself, or use hdmi display)
4) glut (works in x windows graphical display mostly for debugging)
The tack button knows which way to tack if you have wind sensors, otherwise it has to guess depending on last tack. This could use some improvement, and there are also options to make "tack port" and "tack starboard" buttons. Eventually the single tack button could take a hint from starboard and port buttons to help it tack the correct way. Tacking is not very well testing on pypilot.
