hi all
im curious as to how a sonar transducer for a fishfinder sends and recieve signal to your device.
this is my transducer from my Lowrance Elite
there are 6 pins on the connection that goes to back of your Lowrance unit
im assuming:
O - 12v+
O - 12v-
O - Data+
O - Data-
O - Tempurature
O - ???
.....something alond those lines
i could be totally off with these as i am just assuming this with my basic comprehension of electronics.
any other thoughts on how the outputs might go?
Basically i am trying to create a software simulation that will emulate a transducer so i can build a program that works with an actual transducer. I know the programming part, i am just trying to understand more on how a transducer sends and recieves signals to the main unit so i can simulate it with software.
any further information anyone might have would have would be a big help also. Such as, how the data signals might work, ie, "Data+" sends a signal out of your transducer, into the water, the signals bounced back off the objects in the water will come back though Data-" at different timing.
Sorry if this is comfusing for some.... i knowwww there is boating/fisherman that has some kind of knowledge of this that they can help me out on.
anything helps
Thanks!
