Too bad I can't get to test it. I live so far north that the boat had to dock for the winter.

Thanks Sean, I spent a bit of time with this today.
A few things
Using TP as Access Point,
Signal K shows an access request, once I change to read/write and allow, TP connects and creates a connection
OpenCPN shows data being received in dashboard
Pypilot .10 plugin still does not connect.
Using TP as client...
TP reports no wifi detected in the wifi settings menu and I need to rewrite the image onto the sd card in order to fix this. I attempted this about 6 times with the same result. I am unable to switch back to Access point using the remote.
Thank you

as a client you have to specify the correct ssid and key.. How did you change it to client mode?
Are you sure the remote won't switch back even if you select defaults?
You can also edit the networking file instead of rewriting the image.

In the lcd menu with remote, it's possible to get to a WIFI menu where you can toggle ap mode on and off, and also set defaults. It is not possible to enter an essid or key from the lcd menu.
This should at least make it possible to set the default again to access point pypilot so you can connect with the web and change the network more if needed. I'll try some more tests tomorrow.
To get the plugin working you need to upgrade it to pypilot plugin 0.22 It should be included in opencpn plugin manager and possible to upgrade from within opencpn.

i'm going to play with the wifi extensively tomorrow. Are you using opencpn 5.2? Did you install the plugin from within opencpn?
