# Configuration Basic config Under the *Basic config* section of the *Configuration* tab, you will find the following settings:

### **Wind Offset – Wind Sensor Correction** To ensure accurate steering in all wind-based modes, your anemometer must be correctly aligned. Sail the boat under engine power directly into the wind, check the displayed wind angle, and adjust the offset here if needed. A correct wind offset is especially important when using features like wind steering and tacking, where precise wind angle measurements are critical for performance. ### **Servo Manual Speed** This setting determines how quickly the drive accelerates to maximum speed.\ A higher value results in faster response; a lower value allows smoother, more gradual movement. ### **Servo Distance Direction Small** Defines the distance the drive moves when a single arrow key is pressed.\ Ideal for making small manual steering corrections in **Standby mode**. ### **Servo Distance Direction Big** Defines the distance the drive moves when a double arrow key is pressed.\ Useful for making larger manual steering adjustments. ### **Servo Mounted Left** By default, the TillerDrive is mounted on the starboard side.\ If you've installed it on the port side, enable this setting.\ The system will automatically reverse the steering direction accordingly. ### **Use External Compass** Enable this option if you’re using an external compass.\ The internal compass data will be ignored, and only the external compass values will be used for heading calculations. ### **Use APB NMEA Bearing** Determines whether the autopilot in APB mode follows: * **ON:** the bearing to the waypoint (bearing to destination) * **OFF:** the heading to steer provided by your plotter/navigation system ### **Enable Sound Alarm (Web Interface)** Turns the sound notification on or off for alarms played through the browser. ### Broadcast Simrad MFD shortcut With this switch, you can enable or disable the automatic broadcast of a shortcut to compatible Simrad or B\&G chartplotters. When enabled and connected via Ethernet, a button will appear on the plotter that allows you to directly open the autopilot web interface in the plotter’s built-in browser.

Pcnautic Auopilot shortcut on Simrad NSS evo3

To receive NMEA data from B\&G / Simrad / Navico chartplotters, a NMEA data connection must be established. See the [NMEA data connection page for B\&G / Simrad / Navico](https://pcnautic.gitbook.io/autopilot/wifi-verbindingen/b-and-g-simrad-navico). {% hint style="info" %} This feature is not officially supported but should work on the following types: **Simrad** * NSO EVO3/S * NSS EVO3/S – *NSS7 EVO3 is compatible* * IDS * NSX – *Uses a different browser. Not all features are currently supported.* * Go – *Go5 is not compatible; Go7 XSR is compatible, while Go7 XSE is not* **B\&G** * Zeus³/3S Glass Helm * Zeus³/3S – *Zeus³ 7 is compatible* * Zeus S – *Uses a different browser. Not all features are currently supported.* * Vulcan – *Vulcan 5 is not compatible; Vulcan 7R and 7FS are not compatible* **Lowrance** * HDS Pro * HDS Live * HDS Carbon * Elite FS {% endhint %} ### **Swap Arrow Keys (ControlHead)** Allows you to reverse the direction of the arrow buttons on the ControlHead. ## **Advanced Config** Under the *Advanced config* section of the *Configuration* tab, you'll find the following settings, which apply only to the MotorController Advanced:

### **Servo Max Current** Sets the maximum allowable current for the Motor Controller.\ If this limit is exceeded, the Motor Controller will shut down to prevent damage.\ You can monitor the actual current under **Actual**. ### **Trim Current Warning** Sets a warning threshold as a percentage of the **Servo Max Current** (e.g., 90%).\ If this current level is exceeded, the system will issue a warning **before** the Motor Controller shuts down for protection.\ This feature only works when the value is set below 100%. ### **Clutch PWM** If you're using a **clutch**, this setting allows you to define the minimum PWM value required to engage it, significantly reducing power consumption. ### **Use Brake** Enables or disables the use of a **brake**. ### **Use End Switches** Enables or disables the use of **end switches**. ### **Max Controller Temp** Sets the maximum allowable temperature for the Motor Controller.\ If this limit is exceeded, the controller will shut down.\ The current temperature can be viewed under **Actual**. ### **Max Motor Temp** Sets the maximum allowable temperature for the motor.\ If this limit is exceeded, the motor will shut down.\ The current temperature can be viewed under **Actual**. ### Voltage min Set the minimum battery voltage. If the voltage drops below this value, an alarm will be triggered. The current voltage can be viewed under **Actual**. ### Voltage max Set the maximum battery voltage. If the voltage rises above this value, an alarm will be triggered.
