====== Hydrophones ====== Our hydrophones are a powerful tool for figuring out where we are in the water. Using 4 hydrophones, we can calculated our bearing to the pinger. For details, see [[cs:hydrophones:pinger_bearing:start|Pinger Bearing]]. ==== Testing Procedure ==== ==Materials:== * 1 tub of water * 1 pinger * Hydrophone Test Rig ==Test Rig:== * Pinger at one end of tub * Hydrophones at other end of tub * If lots of noise in readings observed, can place towels around tub ==Procedure:== - ssh into the sub - roslaunch robosub cobalt.launch - rosrun robosub pinger_bearing - rostopic echo /hydrophones/bearing - Manipulate hydrophones & Observe bearing readings
