May I ask exactly how you installed the pypilot package?
If I'm correct the normal way should be to start up openplotter-settings and use some steps to install the complete package (also see attachment, commands are just the order of the buttons to press):
(1)- add sources
(2)- update candidates
(3)- refresh
(4)- install openplotter-pypilot
That way a script is started to install some scripts in the background.
The openplotter-pypilot script you can find in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/openplotterPypilot
There should be some extra scripts installed under /usr/local/python/3.7/dist-package/pypilot-(version)
I just assume that by installing the deb-packages the extra scripts are missing.
(5)- After the openplotter-pypilot is installed, run it to set the IMU correctly and check if the package works.
(6)- The IMU-data should be exported to SignalK and visible in the SignalK data browser
(7)- that part should automatically be started during the boot of OpenPlotter.
After the IMU is working you'll have to bind the pypilot plugin to the new pypilot service, I assume you have to connect to 'localhost' but I think here others have more experience.
PS normally I'd just put a link here to the manual, but I can't find the page on openplotter-settings.
