Lost the option to select GPS mode
#2
How is the gps connected?

pypilot likely does not get gps data.

For example, try executing:
pypilot_client gps.source

or check the gps source in the statistics of the plugin


If opencpn has gps, it is a matter of forwarding it to pypilot usually.

another thing... the hmc5883 is magneto resistive. This is much more sensitive than the hall sensors most people are using, but less repeatable. The extra precision is not actually useful for an autopilot either (perhaps useful to detect magnetic objects etc)

So the compass may vary more than a typical setup, I dont have a lot of feedback of users with hmc5883 so would be interesting to hear more.
