Wireless remote anchor windlass control
I looked into the CruzPro a couple years ago.. In looking at the wiring
diagram, I don't see how it can keep track of the chain 'up/down' if the gypsy is released for free fall.. It appears that the counter can only detect the direction of the gypsy from the power up/down buttons. With all the 'bells and whistles' they have this thing doing, perhaps the have something in the gypsy pickup/sensor that can deduce the direction of rotation. Steve s/v Good Intentions |

I believe they detect which button is pressed. Now, logic would dictate that when the sensor picks up pulses without any button signal, the chain is most likely going down.....:-) Meindert |

The sensor is a pair of motion detectors, call them U & D. When the
magnet on the chain wheel passes U before it passes D the direction is up and when it passes D first it is down. Steve wrote: I looked into the CruzPro a couple years ago..

Wireless remote anchor windlass control
Check out www.surpluscenter.com found from an earlier thread. Looks like
they have just what you are looking for. Good luck, Walt "Panama" wrote in message ... Looking for ideas & components to make my windlass wireless. It makes it much easier for 1 person to manage the chain coming in - chain wash wash hose, kelp removal, etc. My windlass is up powered only - so simple is OK. I want to install a wireless switch in parallel with the rubber covered deck button. For years have used a manual wired button but that's a nuisance. Looking at somethiing like the stuff from Linear http://www.linearcorp.com/w_receivers.asp the DX12 Rec and D22A handheld Xmit about $120 for both I want the remote to start/stop the windlass only when the button's pushed or released - not latch and unlatch. Any suggestions? .................................................. ...............
