[TG] [TG11] Wind transducer wind angle issue

RE: [TG11] Wind transducer wind angle issue
Hi Tom,

I have an update for you and info you can use in the future.

I looked closely at the connector on the transducer arm and saw that there was some copper oxidation (the green "patina") at the bases of the pins and the plastic bottom at the base of the pins. I wire brushed them clean and also the socket on the mount (with all power off!), and went through the linearization (by hand) again along with adjusting the wind angle through the iTC-5. Problem solved! i60 analog and i70 digital displays match the physical position of the vane feather on all cardinal points! The oxidation must have been causing a very minor short throwing the voltage off, thus reporting the wrong angles.

Thanks for your help!

Tim
