I had already made my Pypilot but Sean's last hat is so much better than what I did that I preferred to buy him from pypilot store.
This new hat with an arduino is a great job with an NMEA0183 port,the 433MHz receiver and the display more stable than the Nokia. I do not regret anything because it consumes less than 100 mA with the controller, the backlight of the lcd, the receiver and the wifi connection established. With my Autohelm helm drive, everything consumes less than 200mA /h on my well balanced boat. For those who want to install the additional arduino, there is the schematic and code on github.
I prefer to have a stable Pypilot that works alone with the RF remotes and possibly a tablet. It is safer and it really does not consume much
