Assuming you have the correct timing, a good coil and the correct value of damping resistor, you should be able to get decent depth right?
This was pretty much the advice I found after building my first baracuda with poor depth sensing...
My problem was almost certainly the timing circuitry but after looking at the 40106 I was not convinced it was wired correctly...
Suffice to say these issues have been resolved as I'm sure you are all aware...
In the mean time I built a tool using an ATMEGA328 to generate the timing and it worked perfectly...
I then thought why not add the amp and audio sections from the bara to the Micro... could be useful...
That's what this post is about.
I have attached the schematic and a 3D image for the board for any one interested...
I'm just looking for feedback and to see if anyone is interested...
I aims are to start with the timing (currently the micro only does the timing and battery monitoring), and add additional functionality over time...
As I get the micro to do more of the work, some of the other circuitry may disappear...
The schematic is not finalised (needs more testing)...
Everything will be in the public domain including the code...
