new helm PypilotRemote

Well another idea is to use acetone smoothing on ASA.  You might mount this in a palace under a bimini away from rain, but in my sailing sometimes the whole boat went under waves.  sometimes the waves caused damage to the boat.

So for this I am maybe too paranoid,  but it is an interesting discussion.    Do you have more information on your wireless wind sensor?  I am curious as I have a design as well.    For this i would use asa too, but seal the electronics in potting compound.

You are not paranoid. Its good to be waterproof as much as you can. But after some point it is not worth it. Especially for the wind sensor. It will be on top of the mast so not so much saltwater as down. 
You can find the project in my repo on github. Its originated from Norbert Walters yachta project. I changed the pcb a little bit to fit a bme280 sensor. Altered the cad files also a little bit so it fits the sensor and be a little bit more protected from rain. Finally i made quite a few changes in the firmware. 
Its a very good design. I installed SS bearings and screws. Only the bearing at the cups is ceramic because it the most exposed. All bearings of course are aliexpress grade. 
When i have some time i want to improve it a bit but its not on top of my list because it works like it is.

I forgot to include the presentation video. Unfortunately it is in Greek. Maybe it has some youtube auto translation. I dont know..

I cant stop laughing with my english when i make these videos ?
Sorry in advance !

I really enjoy seeing your remote!

It would be interesting to add support for this display to the webapp control and even in the opencpn plugin.

So it seems you don't support manual control via the remote? This is probably ok if it is mounted near the helm.

I dont understand. Sorry.

The pypilotRemote is just a client. It speaks to the pypilot server direclty. I copied the funtionality from your espRemote with micropython. It subscribes in watches and send commands to the pypilot server.
I used cpp because its way faster 30fps. In micropython with lvgl port i was getting 10fps.

What could the webapp and opencpn plugin do to the pypilotremote? They all control the same server.
Maybe you mean that you could alter realtime the pins for buttons and its functions? I dont think this is necessary because this is intended to have fixed pcb and enclosure.
When new enclosures will be added, they will have their pcb and their pins  in the firmware.
In custom adaptations you can just alter the code and add a "new" board code and enclosure for the community to choose.

You are right about manual control. Its not supported. I thought about it and i think its not necessary for my case. I have a raymarine type 1 and i dont know if it disengages the clutch when the manual move is finished and you want to hold there. If its dissengaged then its not usable for units that have clutches...
