I have a desktop application created for the control of a submarine, on which we want to have access to the sonar ping with a socket connection in python. I would like to know if this is possible? And also how to do it.

Hi @Dija, welcome to the forum 🙂

Your post seems similar to [this recent one](https://discuss.bluerobotics.com/t/information-about-ping-sonar-altimeter-and-echosounder/12420) - are you part of the same group, or are you working on something different / asking a different question?
