the 'apb' sensor in pypilot is used to follow routes and can receive this from nmea as well as signalk
It essentially adjusts the commanded heading and is translated (from signalk.py) as:
'apb': {('steering.autopilot.target.headingTrue', radians): 'track'},
So basically it may be translating the wrong key. You could try replacing it and see if it works.
I had some disagreements with the signalk designers about autopilot specifics, so there is limited integration. For more specific commands like setting a particular heading or manual control you could communicate directly with pypilot or invoke pypilot_client
As for sailing down the ICW, where are you? I am in st augustine.
