pilote NAC 3 B&G
Hi, is the widget component "Autopilot head" working with B&G NAC 3 calculator connected in NMEA 2000?
Can replace a AP44 or a Triton hardware remote control?

My hypothesis is that it times out due to errors in my periodic messages or that i am missing a message or timing of a message. Any additional log files would of course be super valuable.
