ACPinger
Accessible, Flexible, Affordable
Affordable, programmable, open architecture 15-30 kHz pinger for localization and one-way, low-rate, short-range data transmission e.g. device ID. Serial interface to configure CWs, LFMs, and FSK data bytes; system can be pre-configured with a ping sequence and duty cycle, or commanded via serial in real time. 124 dB re 1 uPa at 1 m. 50 m depth rating. MIT license detect and decode software available on request; software and hardware customization available.

Pingers designed for science users and robotics developers include an external connector for serial and battery charging with switch, and/or depth sensor. Use as locating pingers, or for slow-rate data transmission via open FSK format of either fixed-byte information, serial-commanded data bytes, or real time values (e.g. pinger depth, pitch, roll).
