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. :highfive

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:ThumbsUp
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.Quote:

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.
That's a REALLY good price for a GREAT livewell timer too Tom. :highfiveQuote:

I looked at a rack, but decided to use a cable. I built a miniature drum winch and used 1/8 inch stainless cable wire. The winch is inside the black box at the top of the apparatus. The cable is hidden in the c channel. I use switches to sense down/up positions and accelerometers (level switches) to sense transition positions.Quote:
