The Autopilot automatically creates its own WiFi network. On your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or PC, search for available networks and select: pcnautic_AP

No password is required unless you have set one previously.

We strongly recommend changing the network name (SSID) and password. Default settings make your system vulnerable to unauthorized access. You can change them under .

The web interface of the Autopilot is accessible via both a web browser and our dedicated Android app, available in the Google Play Store:

Web Interface via Android App

Wear OS integration As shown in the screenshot above, you can enable Bluetooth in the app's connectivity settings. When Bluetooth is activated, your Wear OS smartwatch, running the PCNautic Autopilot Wear OS app, can connect to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

This energy-efficient connection ensures a stable and efficient link between your smartwatch and the Autopilot (via your smartphone or tablet).

Web Interface via web browser

Launch a browser like Chrome or Safari and go to the web page: 192.168.14.1

You can now control the autopilot via the web interface using any smartphone, tablet, laptop, or PC. The web interface offers a wide range of settings and calibration options.

We recommend only changing settings if you are certain of their function. Incorrect adjustments may affect the performance of the system.

Create a Desktop Shortcut (Chrome) Quickly access the web interface as if it were an app:

  1. Click the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner

  2. Go to More tools

  3. Select Create shortcut...

  4. Give the shortcut a name, e.g. “AP”, and optionally check “Open as window”

  5. Click Create

You’ll now find an “AP” icon on your desktop. Clicking it will open the web interface directly, without having to type the address again.

By default, the app attempts to access the web interface using the IP address 192.168.14.1. Does your Controlhead have a different IP address? No problem! You can easily update it via the 'Connectivity' icon in the app. The following screen will then appear. Enter the correct IP address and select 'Save'.

Features of the Wear OS app: Real-time Autopilot status information on your smartwatch. Full control of the Autopilot from your wrist. For more details on using the Wear OS app, please visit our .
