Hi,
I use the tinypilotimage from 27.10.2020 too.
I don´t really understand why pypilot don´t set a new heading command when hit the "tack" button in the plugin (which I compiled from source) as it does in the video you show me. I tested it with the build in plugin of opencpn (with the gains issue) too without difference.
The calculations are done in pypilot which runs as tinypilot. In my understandings it doesn´t matter if opencpn runs on windows or raspian as long as the platform of tinypilot is the same cause it´s the same program where the calculations are done but there must be a difference.
As you wrote in an email you made the same experience like me when running opencpn on a raspberry so it seems that this is not only a special problem of my system.
I just want to write here that using the new tacking.py, copy this file into the folder of tinypilot and run pypilot.build bring tacking not alive. The plugin don´t break the connection to tinypilot as before but tinypilot don´t set a new heading command and therefore it will not tack.
So there´s more work left when using oc on a raspberry and not on a windows system.
Best regards
Andreas
