Description

Controlling an automatic anchor windlass via a multiswitch, so it doesn't have to be through a proportional channel (though it can be if needed). This windlass mimics the behavior of a "real" one, including free fall of the anchor and smoothly retrieving it. Additionally, the anchor light can be linked to our module, automatically turning on when the anchor drops.

We keep udating our device, updates will be uploaded here.
