Pcnautic Autopilot vs PyNav

CONTROL YOUR PCNAUTIC AUTOPILOT Control your Pcnautic Autopilot directly from your Apple device. Adjust course settings and manage autopilot configurations with ease. The app includes Apple Watch support with two connection modes: Direct Wi-Fi: Apple Watch connects straight to the Pcnautic Autopilot for fully independent use BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy): Apple Watch communicates via a paired iPhone or iPad, reducing power consumption An iPhone or iPad can also act as a bridge, enabling BLE connectivity for Garmin and Wear OS watches. This provides flexible control depending on range, power usage, and available devices. KEY FEATURES • Direct control of the Pcnautic Autopilot • Adjustable course and autopilot settings REQUIREMENTS Compatible Pcnautic Autopilot hardware is required.

NMEA NAVIGATION HUB + PYPILOT REMOTE CONTROL PyNav serves two kinds of sailors: - Have a pypilot autopilot? Control it from your iPhone/iPad AND display all your NMEA instruments. - No pypilot? Use PyNav as a standalone professional NMEA navigation hub. FREE VERSION - Autopilot tab + Settings Full control of the pypilot autopilot: - Engage / disengage the autopilot - Modes: compass, wind, GPS, true wind, navigation - Current heading + target heading entry - Real-time rudder angle indicator - IMU data: pitch, roll, heel, rate of turn - Full PID gain tuning (P, I, D, DD, PR, FF, WG, Deadzone) - IMU compass and rudder calibration - Tack settings - Pilot profiles (basic, wind, gps, simple, rate, absolute) - Servo stats: amp-hours, voltage, temperatures, runtime - Direct WiFi connection to the pypilot Raspberry Pi hotspot - no router needed The free version gives access to pypilot data only - no external NMEA instruments. PRO VERSION - Complete navigation hub One-time purchase, lifetime - no subscription. Works WITH or WITHOUT pypilot. Just needs a NMEA/WiFi module and an iPhone or iPad. Optimized for iPad - also works on iPhone with adapted layout. DASHBOARD - Customizable unified view 6 configurable, drag-and-drop panels: - Wind: dynamic rose or raw data grid - Navigation: SOG, COG, GPS data - Autopilot: engage/disengage, target heading, rudder indicator, IMU - Depth: color-coded - Pressure: hPa value, 3h trend, history chart - Engine: RPM with color coding (nominal / warning / danger) Resizable panels, 1 or 2 column layout. WIND - Apparent and true wind Dynamic wind rose, 5-minute history chart, real-time AWA/AWS/TWA/TWS. ENGINE INSTRUMENTS RPM, coolant and oil temperature/pressure, battery/alternator voltage, engine hours, fuel flow, exhaust and sea water temperature, gearbox state (Fwd/Neutral/Rev), transmission oil. Tank gauges: port/starboard fuel, fresh water, grey and black water. Unlimited custom charts (any parameter vs RPM or time). NAV - GPS and waypoint navigation Compass rose, true and magnetic heading, SOG, COG, STW, latitude/longitude (DD°MM'SS), waypoint navigation (bearing BTW, distance DTW, cross track error XTE), arrival indicator. CONFIGURABLE ALARMS On all NMEA data: depth, speed, heading, pressure, wind, RPM, temperatures, oil pressures, voltages, fuel levels, rudder angle. Each alarm: custom name, threshold, condition, individual on/off. Triggers: sound + vibration + on-screen banner. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Free: iOS 13.4+, working pypilot setup (Raspberry Pi), direct WiFi connection to pypilot hotspot. PRO: any TCP/UDP NMEA/WiFi module (Yacht Devices, Quark-elec, Digital Yacht, Hat Labs, Actisense...) + iOS 13.4+. Pypilot optional. Supported protocols: NMEA 0183, NMEA 2000 Raw, Pypilot (TCP). SAFETY WARNING PyNav is a navigation interface. It does not replace mandatory navigation equipment. The skipper remains SOLELY RESPONSIBLE for navigation. Permanent watch at sea is MANDATORY. Pypilot is an open-source DIY project provided "as-is". PRIVACY No navigation data is sent to external servers. Runs 100% locally on your onboard network. No ads, no tracking.
