Description
The Ping sonar is a single-beam echosounder that measures distances up to 100 meters (328 feet) underwater. A 25-degree beam width, 300-meter (984-foot) depth rating, and an open-source software interface make it a powerful tool for marine robotics. We would recommend that you connect with the BLUART USB to Serial and RS485 Adapter.
The Ping sonar is a multipurpose single-beam echosounder. It can be used as an altimeter for ROVs and AUVs, for bathymetry work aboard a USV, as an obstacle avoidance sonar, and other underwater distance measurement applications. Ping combines a compact form factor and 300-meter depth rating with an open-source user interface and Arduino, C++, and Python development libraries to create a powerful new tool for marine robotics!
An echosounder, like the Ping, is one of the simplest forms of underwater sonar. It uses a piezoelectric transducer to send an ultrasonic acoustic pulse into the water and then listens back for echoes to return. With that information, it’s able to determine the distance to the strongest echo, which is usually the ocean floor or a large object. It can also provide the full echo response (echo strength versus time) which can be plotted like the display of a fishfinder sonar.
