(DG) Rotating mast, Tacktick wireless and EV-100

Hi Nick

I believe the issue is bacuase there are two heading sensors in the system - is this correct?

I can confirm that an Ng source of heading (normally EVO) is valid for calibrating the Mast rotation Transducer.

In respect of multiple sources on the wireless network, this network is only designed for a single source of each data type so having both a hull transmitter with a fluxgate compass and Ng heading will cause issues.

The issue of differing mast angles Vs heading is well understood. The EVO provides heading at 10hz from a modern mem’s sensor where as the mast rotation transducer is a fluxgate operating at 1hz. This does cause some errors particularly during fast turns.

Thankyou for your feedback as this is very useful for other users.
