Do you mean the Clipper instrument itself , or the paddle wheel technology ? What alternatives are there pls ?

Ultrasonics would be the renaissance alternative to the paddlewheel ..... although Gwlan might well be referring to GPS, which isn't.

Dark ages tech? The paddlewheel electronic log is state of the art compared to the engine and sails!

Dear all,
I recently bought a new Nasa Clipper Wind instrument, which I was installing last saturday. I already have a well working Nasa Clipper Duet. I tought that I easily connect the power cables of the wind instrument to the duet's. But when the wind power cables are connected to the duets power cables and to the boat as well, the duet starts to measure 1.4kts speed of the boat, while the boat is docked, and not moving.
If I disconnect the wind instrument, the speed goes back to 0 slowly.
If i reconnect it again, then the speed goes up again to 1.4 kts slowly.
This is very strange. Where shall I search for the error, do I need noise filters between the two instruments power cables?
Do you have information about such missbehaviour?
Regards,
Krisztian
