Sorry all, i do have the new controller built - and 2 installed - just slowed down with a broken finger (cast on since 4 weeks ago, the day after i put my boat in finally..)
If you want physical controls it supports a 3 way switch like before, and 3 buttons (left/off/right) with LED lights for modes - or just app control. You wire it and set the specific configuration in the app - no code mods needed. The app lets you adjust the deploy times on the fly while riding, default settings - as well as tweaking all the settings the controller uses. Currently the app is only an android APK and i need to make it a prettier, but it works fine. Control is over wireless bluetooth. I do have an android wear app for controlling while surfing but the range is spotty at the moment -if i can improve i'll release.
From personal experience - i would not recommend a screen/touchscreen arduino on a boat. Marine environment is tough on parts in general - and there's no decent arduino driven touchscreens that aren't expensive or extremely fragile. I had an OLED display on my previous build that i removed because it was a pain in the butt. The phone is a MUCH better controller, everyone has one already, and you can see speed, deploy, settings, etc all on the app. You're better off grabbing a $20 fire tablet and using that than a dedicated screen.
First the old code and build list was awsome! But the link still just goes to the old code build sheet... (I have built the old one and am in the process of testing, (made quite a few changes to the build and a few small code additions...

But I would love to see the NEW code and build!!!
