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 WiFi / Network Config.

The web interface of the Autopilot is accessible via both a web browser and our dedicated Android or iPhone (iPad) app.

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 'Gear' icon in the app. The following screen will then appear. Enter the correct IP address and select 'Save'.

Wear OS / Apple Watch

The Pcnautic Autopilot can not only be controlled via a smartphone or tablet, but also supports operation through a smartwatch. The smartwatch can connect directly to the Autopilot via Wi-Fi, or via Bluetooth using the Pcnautic Autopilot app (smartphone / tablet) as an intermediary.

In the connectivity settings of the Pcnautic Autopilot app, you can enable Smartwatch (BLE) Broadcasting (see screenshot above). When this function is activated, your Wear OS smartwatch or Apple Watch can connect to the Pcnautic Autopilot app on your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

This energy-efficient BLE connection ensures stable and reliable communication between your smartwatch and the Autopilot (via your mobile device).
