Otherwise, you can use startup scripts to start opencpn at boot, and make it autofollow, but to be able to control it you need some kind of input and there is no way to use the wireless control to zoom/pan opencpn at this time.
Ok, thank you Sean. I am proceeding as per your instructions. I would like moreover to ask for a new question related to the LCD Jlx12864 ST7565R. Practically:
1) Which are the interface pins on the raspberry to link to the corresponding LCD pins? I am now following the schematic by Andreas project but I don't find the code in the pypilot files except in the arduino ones. So my second question is:
2) To interface a LCD Jlx12864 to the autopilot is it necessary to link it to an arduino board too? May I fit the LCD straight only to the Raspberry Pi? If yes with which pins?
I would be very grateful for helping me asking for a patience for my beginner very limited python knowledge.
Best regards
Francesco
