So back from sailing.
Installing the new immage was just swapping SD-Cards. So also if needed easy to swap back.
My old tinypilot was 0.12 with OP1.2 and the corresponding plugin at the navegation pi3b+ at the nav desk.
I have done arround 1000 NM in the courrent year verry happy and no problems.
So today I used also a headles PI4 with OP2 and the newest pypilot plugin 0.22.5 witch will go to replace the one at the nav desk if the testing is a sucess.
So after booting I edid the pypilot.conf to my proven gains and servo settings. Also I changed a line with somethiing
hat.eprom=true into false. (I guess i have no hat and no eprom but not shure about ;-) )
I tested all wifi connection types, Master, Managed with fixed IP, Managed with dhcp. ---- all worked fine
I had a problem with signal-k connection wich I worked arround by setting into signal-k an TCP output to get winddata into pypilot and in to OPENCPN an TCP input to get roll and pitch to the PI4.
Later I found that er was an connection request for singnal-k at the security options wich I had to allow and to gant read and write permissions. So my foult an I remooved the TCP connections.
The LCD display and keys at the helm worked right away just had to flip the display adjust the port and Std keys as they were inverted. That was easy done by the webapp. ----- GREAT
As there was verry few wind I just motored. Stearing in compass mode was good and as epected. I could not notice any diference in this conditiones .....
I like the wind display with 180 Stb/Port and the underline too see witch side.
So here a few and mor cosmetic observations:
In the LCD the wind underline is thicker on the upper number (actual wind) then at the lower numer (wind to steer).
I like more the slim line as it dit not touch tbe number and it is thatfor more visible.
In the Pypilot Plugin when the wind ist from Port, every time you make a change ther coms the 360 figuere before the -180 is displayed. I think ist an output befor recalculation. Also der is no sign for wind from stb. it would be nice to have -90 and 90- ... a minus in front and minus behind for wind from port.
Tacking is not working, it beginns and than the AP disengages.
When it comes to remote control, I have keys at the helm, Pypilot Plugin at the Nav-Desk and Mobile Phone/Tablet for any remote needes, with webapp or VNC-Viewer to the PI at the Nav-Desk.
So I dont need more RF/Wifi remotes .... but I understand that others like them.
Conclusion of the day:
I will stay with Tinypilot 0.25 image from 27.10.2020 an now change the OP1.2 at the nav with PI4 OP2
Wishlist: Tacking/Jibing and selflearning ..... but I also can live without
Thanks a lot Sean !!!
