This works

Coupled with a NMEA String, this very effectively addresses rotating mast applications.

Excellent product

I’ve been using this device on a 55’ cat. It provides wind data to my raymarine system including wind vane mode for autopilot. Using the NMEA kit to capture signal from 72’ mast. Developer is active and helpful.
