Tack functionality does not work for me

[Andreas29]

Hi,

I tested this and shared my experience with Onno.

I can´t get tacking to work.

Setup: Tinypilot, latest image, running on a raspberry zero W, Opencpn 5.2.4 running on a raspberry 3b+ with latest Raspbian "Buster" and build-from-source plugin for controlling pypilot.

With no modified files when running the pypilot plugin in OC and hit the "tack" button (in auto AP-Mode) then the plugin switched to standby and disconnects from pypilot.

With the new tacking.py-file after I hit the "tack" button in OC the plugin switched from "none" to "tacking" for the tacking mode but I got no new heading command. The AP don´t move to the new direction. It´s also not possible to use the "tack"-button of the control unit cause -if I read the code right- is not implemented yet.

I tried to build pypilot completly new but this was also unsuccessful. When doing this pypilot have no display on the zero and does not work (don´t know what I,m doing wrong).

Best regards

Andreas
I download the tacking.py-file, put it in the folder of tinypilot and run pypilot.build on the zero. After this it´s possible to
