Hello,
I'm struggling to find the 'sweet spot' with the pypilot gains to get our boat to hold a downwind course with a reasonable swell. I can fiddle with the gains via the OpenCpn plug-in, but having the 'wind', 'simple' and 'absolute' gains all showing up makes it hard to cross reference the 'basic' settings and I keep mucking it up.
Is there a simple way to remove them? Can I just get rid of or hide the code for them in the pypilot/pilots directory? Does all of the code handle the addition / removal of pilots automatically? Would I also just need to remove the gains for the unused pilots from the config file?
I suspect that there's more to it than this as there are a number of pilots in that directory that don't show up on the Gains screen. Any clues would be gratefully received.
I'm using version 0.12 of pypilot which is working beautifully unless we are running downwind, when I can't get it to respond quickly enough to hold a course.
Cheers
