Another must have tinker board

[Cane Pole]

I love timers. This particular timer allows a relay to stay on for a selected time. Great for tinkering and cheap too. I just ordered a couple.

These boards are great for random logic circuitry. My transducer lift is a random logic design. I made it work with relays and switches. No electronics except for the china made power supply. Today's graduate engineers would struggle to figure out how my deploy circuitry works. I love relays.

A motion switch on the input and a LOUD horn on the output could make a handy boat burglar alarm.

TOM ,WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW VIDEO OF YOUR TRANSDUCER ,LOVE IT ,DON SHOWED ME A PHONE VIDEO WHICH WAS GREAT ,BUT WANT TO SEE IT ON CONPUTER

ok.

I just motorized Rickie's Da Ducer apparatus.

here is the circuit I drew up that runs the show. It is sequential relay logic. I had a bunch of relays lying around collecting dust, so I just used them. I like the good old days and ways.

THANKS RICKIE,YOU AND TOM ARE THE MAN,WHEN LOWERING INTO WATER IS IT A SPROCKET GEAR DEVICE,THAT IS WHAT I HAVE,BUT ALL THAT RELAYS IS GREEK TO ME,LOVE FOLLING YOU GUYS ON YOUR DREAMS

BTW IF YOU COME UP WITH A GAGET TO REMIND ME NOT TO FORGET TO RAISE MINE BEFORE I TAKE OFF LET ME KNOW,LOL. I CAN RAISE IT AT FRONT OR BACK

Numerous ways to add this feature. You could add a switch and turn on an LED when the transducer is in the water. The LED could come on when you turn the big motor.

You could add a pressure switch and sense pressure at a certain speed and automatically raise the transducer. You could build your own pressure sensor switch using miniature coil springs and a metal plate. The plate would collapse the springs as speed increases. The plate could collapse (as water pressure increases on it thru movement thru the water) and touch a wire and ground the wire. Walla.

I have done this type stuff before. You can calculate all day long, but guess work pays off.
