pypilot on opencpn using w2k-1 actisense nmea wifi gateway

That said, you are now relying on your autopilot for your connectivity. You are not the only one, but it would not be my choice. The actisense is designed for that purpose.

Thanks for pointing the weakness, although the actisense has 2 modes simultaneously (AP+client), so if pypilot goes down I can quickly switch the wifi connection to actisense, The trouble is if pypilot introduces some random /not so random error on some of the messages, you may not be able to detect themĀ  quickly and get in trouble. This is supporting stuff and nothing is perfect !
