    Switch Control YDSC-04 to Ping start Line

    For a project i would know if it would be possible to use to 4 button input using the YDSC-04 to control function in Expeditions. ( See MOB Article https://www.yachtd.com/news/fog_horn.html), this using the NMEA2000 Switch commands received from the Yacht TD. (PGN 127501 and 127502 if i'm not mistaken)

    Function 1 : Ping starting Vessel
    Function 2 : Ping Pin end
    Function 3 : Start timer
    Function 4 : Sync timer. 

    The idea would be to have RF wireless key remote with 4 simple buttons connected to the 4 relays and connected to the YachtTD unit, this instead of a Ipad or Phone. Buttons are easier and faster. 

    Could this work ?

    It should be possible.

    I would have to add support, similarly to the serial event buttons.

    Just a matter of finding time ...
