Updated GPS Autopilot With Auto Throttle

This is a version of my autopilot controller for boats and ships with adjustable auto throttle control included. To change the auto throttle amount and other settings you can use the selection tool on the microcontroller while in the workbench.

In order to use this autopilot you will need a GPS sensor, compass sensor, large keyboard, and an on/off button. A speed sensor will allow the microcontroller to calculate the ETA. The boat's steering/throttle and the rudders/engine will need to be run through the microcontroller in order to allow the autopilot to steer and stop when reaching the waypoint. If you have arrived at your destination and the engine will not start again you just need to turn the autopilot off to start the engine. Please feel free to make any adjustments to better suit your vehicle, however if you lengthen the stopping distance you will need to make a similar adjustment on the three waypoint add on as well if you use it. I have tried to give the logic inputs and outputs descriptive names for ease of installation. If you have any questions or issues please let me know!
