OpenCPN Plug in
The Pypilot plug-in is available for the free navigation program OpenCPN, allowing you to fully operate and configure our autopilot within the navigation program.
Features and Control:
The operation speaks for itself and the possibilities correspond to those in the web interface.
Steer to waypoint:
After installation you also have the option to steer to a waypoint or a place on the map, click with your right mouse button on the place on the map or waypoint you want to go to and choose "Navigate to Here"
The point is displayed as a flashing red and yellow point, when you are on the autopilot it automatically switches to GPS mode and changes course to the selected point.
You can delete the waypoint by right-clicking it again and choose Delete.
