I cannot find any good information. the boatimu service is running ... I have installed PyPilot ... I cannot find any information if I am supposed to have both of them installed. When I click the help links, the documentation just says "coming soon" I cannot find a good explanation of how it is supposed to wok ... I uninstalled PyPilot and the boatimu service is running, so maybe it does not need PyPilot to function for heading data ... I don't know.
From what I can tell, the plane of the magnetic data is not aligned with gravity ... when I make a circle in the boat (around the Z axis, or in the XY plane) it appears in the calibration screen as a circle in the YZ plane (around the X axis) ...
You have progressed further than me so I can't provide any advice from my own experience to date. I believe the documentation for Openplotter V3 is still being written which is why you see "coming soon". I think the PyPilot module in Openplotter has to be installed for the IMU to be configured (calibrated). Did you calibrate the IMU after it had been detected and installed?
