A wireless hoist system including a first hoist device having a first motor and a first wireless transceiver and a second hoist device having a second motor and a second wireless transceiver. The wireless hoist system includes a controller in wireless communication with the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless. The controller is configured to receive a user input and determine a first operation parameter and a second operation parameter based on the user input. The controller is also configured to provide, wirelessly, a first control signal indicative of the first operation parameter to the first hoist device and provide, wirelessly, a second control signal indicative of the second operation parameter to the second hoist device. The first hoist device operates based on the first control signal and the second hoist device operates based on the second control signal.

Wireless hoist system

A power tool includes a housing, a motor, a switching network electrically coupled to the motor, and a printed circuit board positioned at an angle within the housing. The power tool further includes a user input configured to receive a sensitivity level for loss of control detection, a sensor configured to measure an acceleration of the housing with respect to at least two axes, and an electronic processor coupled to the switching network. The electronic processor is configured to receive one or more signals related to the acceleration of the housing of the power tool from the acceleration sensor, determine that the one or more signals exceed an acceleration threshold corresponding to the sensitivity level for loss of control detection, and control the switching network to brake the brushless DC motor in response to the one or more signals exceeding the acceleration threshold.
