Pypilot for Dummies -The Uninitiated
#36
Well I am not sure about exactly the problem, but it sounds like the display is working.

I am not sure what you mean "pypilot part of openplotter is gone" do you mean icons or links?

As for control, you can use the opencpn pypilot plugin or also type pypilot_control on command line.

As for the errors, you obviously deleted the pypilot directory but not needed as the screen is now working.

As for the motor controller. It is most likely because the serial port is not configured.

Try:
ls -l /dev/serial0

It must point to /dev/ttyAMA0, If you see /dev/ttyS0 then it is no surprise. It is also possible some other process is trying to access the port. Let me know if it points to /dev/ttyAMA0 or not.. The openplotter-pypilot plugin is supposed to detect this and correct it if needed so this could be a good test of that. So yeah all of this is supposed to just work without any manual steps you are going through. Really thanks for sticking by and it gives me good feedback.
