Any thoughts on another tech. that would fit the bill?
I was discussing with a freind of mine the idea of trying to adapt a radar gun, which can determine distance. Could this idea be modded to work A) underwater,
B) lose the directional requirement that radar requires. What i mean is I don't want a person to need to be pointing directly at the object in front of them.
Hello all, I'm working on a project and have hit a technical wall. I am looking at using a sonar unit inside of swimming pools that will help alert blind swimmers as to location of obstacles and walls. I am having issues with medium transfer, as well as cost. I need a inexpensive, short-range active sonar unit that can trip a vibrating wrist band. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated!Jeff Reilly
After a little looking, I see that mine is not a new concept. Still...http://cordis.europa.eu/ictresults/index.cfm?section=news&tpl=article&ID=90729
I'll write a tutorial on this with pictures, one day . . .
I would love to see that tutorial, as one of my plans for the future (once i have much more robotics experience under my belt) is for an amphibious autonomous robot.
Has there been updates about the tutorial Admin talked about ?I'm really interested in knowing how to get a waterproof sonar sensor out of a basic water resistant maxbotix sonar.
