I'm intrigued - it seems that most people say you can't build a side scan sonar, citing software, transducers, etc. Somebody did it once - which means we can do it again. Whether that's economical or practical... well, that's a different story. We built sonar for robots on land, using speakers and mics, so surely we could do it in the water. as for software... again, someone did it before.

Anythings possible, people

Hello Azrael

Browsing the Archive I found close to everything about the Quest system, but I am missing the code. Are You able to share this with me? Maybe You could add it to the download section so everyone could appreciate it.

Sincerely
Olsteffe

I find Google patent handy for ideas. Check out patents available. Don't let anyone talk you out of trying there are some amazing projects accomplished by people at home. The investment in material and equipment might be high but its possible. Some ones already done it. Personally I don't see making a transducer as being that hard.
The alternative is using transducers from alternate sources like scrapped equipment , depth sounders

Hello,
I still did not find the informations.
Where to find that archive ?
I tried searching the forums with some key words, but no success yet.

Could anybody give me a link or send me the files ?

Thanks,
Garibeos

transducers are easy to get. For 28 khz you can buy from ebay ( for cleaning device), for higher frequency you can search on google for ultrasonic transducer.

Low powered transducers may not work for this. Don't forget that the device has to send a ping down to several meters or more and receive it again for both sides of the vessel. You need much more than what they sell on eBay.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

i think that 60w on 1 transducer is enough power. what power range you should choose?
