Restore previously stored compass calibration
#1
Is it possible to add some functionality to restore a previously stored calibration? I just spent 3 hours confined to my helm hand steering again because I lost my compass calibration and was in no position to perform a calibration procedure. 

Having built an entire pypilot in a tiller pilot casing, when you forget to lock your calibration when you swing it away (for instance, when you have to pass a lock or something), in the swung-away state it recalibrates automatically. Then, when you put it on the tiller again, it's basically useless.

Another feature in this context would be to be able to select 'disable automatic calibration when autopilot not active'.

Without these features, those who wish to build the pypilot into a standalone tiller pilot are left with a problem waiting to happen.

Greetings from Terschelling.
