Ultrasonic depth transducer - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Anyone have any idea to interface with the ultrasonic depth transducer by using PIC microcontroller?
This device's cable is RCA cable.
Besides, i dont now how to interface with the RCA cable.
Thanks a lot!!

Siemens HydroRanger 200 may be the best application. High voltage is generated for the operation of ultrasonics across the transducers, so I'm unaware of any specific module that will interface directly. This cited unit will have RS485 communications to talk with most microcontrollers. Hope this helps.
