The new generation WindyPlug interface is now Wireless

by Christophe MICHEL17 November 20242 min read

Once again, LCJ Capteurs R&D office innovates. Still compatible with the entire range of CV7 ultrasonic wind sensors, WindyPlug is now wireless, which enables incredible ease of use. WindyPlug : what are we talking about ? WindyPlug, NMEA2000 interface for ultrasonic wind vane-anemometers with integrated barometer In 2016, LCJ Capteurs developed this compact, lightweight and very economical interface with integrated barometer. With only 35 grams of material and 13 cm in length, WindyPlug was already a powerful instrument which takes up really little space. Compatible with all NMEA2000 equipment, with a simple cable connection and requiring no third-party tools, the WindyPlug allowed to transform NMEA0183 wind data (language standard used by LCJ Capteurs), transmitted by the CV7 wind sensor. The user could thus read all anemometric data such as wind speed, angle or temperature, but also atmospheric pressure, directly on their MFD (multifunction display).

A wireless interface A few years later, LCJ Capteurs is proud to offer a new generation of WindyPlug. With this new version, the principle of use is even more simplified. With a click on his smartphone, the user can access all the anemometric information and configure it as he wishes. The new WindyPlug, a real facilitator of sea navigation With these innovations, WindyPlug allows you to take full and safe advantage of our CV7 or CV7-HR ultrasonic wind sensor assets. Beyond this great new feature of being able to configure it directly from your phone, the interface offers significant improvements: Adjust the wind angle with one click (mast angle offset) Calibrate the atmospheric pressure value. Choose version V2 or V3 (knowing that the first one displays the atmospheric pressure in millibars when the second offers it to the tenth of a millibar) Set the WindyPlug instance level Choose the CV7 or CV7-HR transmission speed Revise your Morse code before meeting us at the METS show in Amsterdam, you may need it. If you are curious to know more, do not hesitate to make an appointment during this event to enjoy a live demonstration by a member of our team.
