Many of us work in IT, Steve. I have always had the list go to its own

Danny - I think we tried that when the list moved over from Sailnet, but
went back to the email format. It won't work for me, for sure. Outside
of major cities, my internet is extremely slow and a web based format

links and share info more
easily on a bulletin board/forum type of format. Danny

better venue for a technical discussion like this, plus you have the

Bill — whether the list is being hijacked or not is beside the point. Pete was
expressing his opinion in a non-confrontational way. Calling him “rude and
belligerent” is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black.

Don, In principle yes you could but you'd still have a pretty lousy
analog-based autopilot at the end of the day and the current draw of the
actuator would need to be similar to that of the 3000 (which is unlikely).
I started to build my homebrew autopilot after my ancient autohelm (the

Would it be possible to control the linear actuator or hydraulic drive

Thanks, Fred, for the information about octapus drive hydraulics -- I was
aware enough of them to know that I can't afford one! If I see one for
cheap on ebay or in a consignment store I will definitely pick it up!

I`m wondering if there is anybody who want to build a DIY autopilot? If
so, it would be interesting to discuss/combine ideas.
In the moment my idea ... and what I`ve done so far is following:
