Alan Is Building An Autopilot

“Dale:

 

Here are a couple of pictures of the autopilot.  Later I'll send you one showing the actuator installation in the boat.

 

The first picture shows the compass module mounted on a pendulum.  This was probably overkill as I now find a tilt angle of about 30 degrees only introduces about a two degree error in the heading for where I live.  But I did show some restraint by not mounting it on gimbal.”


I’ll certainly be waiting for Alan’s next installment on his project.
