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.
