Pypilot working on my Nicholson 44

[seandepagnier]

Overall is not more then the old autoppilot and depends verry much on how acurat you want your coures, your gain setting and
the sail trimming. The solarpannel produced all what was needed so I arrived after 63NM winth full batteries.

pypilot tracks amp hours and also calculates the current average power consumption in watts.     This calculation is not perfectly accurate for a few reasons but close enough to be useful and usually less than other autopilots!

On flat water and light wind I use only D=0,1 and P=0,005  FF=0,73(..... P=D*5%....)

What do you mean P=D*5% ?   Would it be useful to lock it this way or something?   I found they should nearly be locked but not exactly, but using different dimensions that are transformed to these gains could be better.

Today I Used: D=0,12 P=0,006 PR=0,006 DD=0,2 FF=0,73

So the conclusion of the day was, the pypilot is doing reay fine and I´m sure it can do still better when I have more understandig of gain setting ;-)

Maybe it won't do much better than "doing fine" for a basic pilot since it's limited to these gains.
