Autopilot Daughterboard Microcontroller

Paired with an autopilot controller, this controller will determine whether or not the AP is enabled or not. This controller also includes a PANIC feature enabled via the input.

This controller allows the user to toggle an AP system on or off when the AP mainboard does not have a system toggle, or doesn't stop when the AP has reached the set GPS coordinates. If the AP mainboard sends a signal when at destination, it is easy to trigger the daughterboard's "finished" state.

The daughterboard has four states:
OFF - The system will not output any AP controls.
ON - The AP system is fully engaged.
FINISHED - The AP system is on, but disengaged until restarted.
PANIC - An optional sensor has detected something in front of the ship, the ship will now halt, and AP control will be disabled until the system has been restarted.

This controller was designed to work with the [4x3] Fully configurable GPS Autopilot, but it has been designed in such a way that it may work fine with other autopilot systems.
