2.5 Multigraphic operation with the Gyropilot 2 processor
Gyropilot is an automatic pilot designed to steer the boat. It is intended to assist the
helmsman and should never be used without state of the art navigation equipment
handled by a qualified navigator.
Once the pilot has been engaged by the helmsman the Gyropilot 2 processor will
save the current value of the relevant channel: ie. magnetic heading, wind angle or
GPS course. This value becomes the reference for course to steer.
From that point the processor uses the data coming from the sensors to control the
rudder using the following criteria:
- the error to the course to steer, from data coming in from the compass (compass
mode) or the wind unit (wind mode).
- the boat motion delivered by the gyrometer. This sensor measures boat rotation
due to the action of the rudder, the wind or the waves.
The correction value is linked to:
The error from the course to steer,
The gain value,
The boat speed (the correction factor is opposite to the boat speed. i.e. with
a very low boat speed the correction factor is high, and with no boat speed the
Gyropilot will not perform).
Never leave the helm unattended. The helmsman has responsibility for keeping
an efficient watch and to be ready to act in case of any event affecting the route of the
boat. He must be ready to disengage the pilot and control the helm at any time.
