The lcd keypad and remote control interface uses a small (nokia5110) daylight visible display to configure pypilot.

Most IR remotes can be used, for different remotes see [[programming remotes]]

The initial screen shows the current course, and under "standby" or the course to hold if the autopilot is engauged.

Below the icons
  * C - Compass
  * G - GPS
  * W - Wind
  * T - True Wind

Appear if the data is available for these modes, and the current mode is outlined with a box.

Below "WIFI" is displayed if the access point "pypilot" can be created, and the cursor in the lower left blinks when the program is working.

The Buttons on the keypad/remote:
   * AUTO - (power) engauge / close menu
   * MENU - (mute) enter or select in menu
   * UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT - change course, select in menu
   * SELECT (AV/TV) - change mode / exit menu

Once the autopilot computer is mounted, it should be leveled to the boat.  To do this, enter the menu->calibrate->level.

Next, it is advisable to set the max_current of the motor to a low enough value to trigger on end of travel to prevent stalling.  From the menu->settings->motor->max_current set an appropriate value.

Once the boat completes a circle the compass should be calibrated and ready to use.
