Hello everyone, I’d like to ask…
two Ping Sonar (Ping1D) to Raspberry Pi via BLUART (USB to TTL). here to see the general results using the default software from blue robotic, namely ping viewer. I think the ping viewer can only detect one ping sonar. But can the results of the readings of the two sensors be seen in other ways, even to modify the results of the readings (for example 2 ping sonars facing forward, then to determine the deviation angle from the difference in distance readings from the two ping sensors for the ROV heading)
Hi @firda -
Two ping sonars used at the same time with default settings are going to interfere with each other! Some users have had success communicating with the sonars and controlling the timing of pings to avoid interference, but if using ping viewer or ping viewer next (beta) the use of only one at a time is expected.
Remember that the Ping sonar has a 30 degree beam - this is quite a large cone, so using them for heading may require significant separation distance…even operating with them at 90 degrees could result in interference depending on the environment!
for the placement of the distance between sonar pings of half a meter, what do you think?. will it still collide…
