On the Maintenance page, you can see the current firmware version of the Autopilot at the top. The TinyCore version is also displayed here.
This section allows you to update the Autopilot with new firmware. When a new firmware version becomes available, you will receive it via email. Save the attached file to a location on your smartphone, tablet, or computer where you can easily find it.
Follow the steps below to update the autopilot firmware:
Click Browse and select the firmware file you previously saved.
Then click Start Update.
Confirm with OK.
After a short while, the following message will appear: "The Pcnautic Autopilot is rebooting. Please wait while we reconnect to the web server."
Once the reboot is complete, the main screen with the compass should reappear as normal.
Three slots are available for saving, restoring, exporting, and importing configuration files.
Create Creates a backup of the current settings in the selected slot.
Restore Restores settings from the selected backup slot.
Export Downloads the backup from the selected slot as a file — useful for saving to an external location or computer.
Import Imports a previously saved configuration file into the selected slot. This makes it easy to restore or share settings.
Click the red "Reset to factory defaults" button to reset the Autopilot to its original factory settings. The Autopilot will automatically reboot afterward.
Click the orange "Download logs" button to download various log files. These files are useful for analysis and troubleshooting if any issues arise.
Click the orange "Reboot" button to restart the Autopilot.
In rare cases, the update may not succeed on the first attempt. You can simply repeat the procedure. If a second attempt also fails, you can use the page.
